Remove Plaster
Damaged, salt-contaminated plaster is removed from the affected area to expose sound masonry. The old plaster has to come off because it is full of salt, and the salt keeps causing damage even after the damp has been stopped.
Drill Holes
Using the StopDamp+ 12 mm masonry drill bit, drill holes into the visible lowest mortar course at 100 mm centres along the affected wall.
Clean Holes
After drilling, dust and loose debris are cleared from each hole with the StopDamp+ Dust Remover Tool. Clean, open holes, free from significant drilling residue, let StopDamp+ Injection Cream penetrate and disperse effectively within the mortar course.
Inject Cream
StopDamp+ Injection Cream is injected into each prepared hole along the mortar course using the supplied caulking gun. The cream disperses within the mortar course to form a continuous water-repellent barrier that helps stop rising moisture.
Apply BaseShield
StopDamp+ BaseShield is brushed on the wall, from floor level up, to help prevent moisture movement.
Blocks moisture movement
Allow to Cure
The treated wall is left to cure, allowing the barrier to establish fully before reinstatement begins.
Replaster with Cement Mix
The treated wall is replastered using StopDamp+ Cement Mix, mixed with Portland cement, clean sand and water as specified in the installer guide, and applied evenly for a smooth, salt-resistant finish.
