> Salt damp is the most common form of dampness encountered in the old buildings. Salt damp (rising damp) is the vertical flow of water up through a permeable wall structure, the water derived from the ground. The water rises through the pores (capillaries) in the masonry. To treat salt damp, Heritage Stone Restorations Pty Ltd have a variety of methods that typically involve the installation of a chemical D.P.C, such as injecting a siloxane fluid using specialist injection equipment, or for friable and deteriorated masonry a gravity feed method is more appropriate. However, the introduction of damp proofing cream has simplified the process. The cream is delivered by hand pressure only, from a simple pump and an injector lance. This reduces chemical spillage and is therefore more environmentally friendly. Heritage Stone Restorations Pty Ltd Specialise in Cocoon Poultice that is applied to the stone or brick surface to remove any concentrated salts as part of the salt remediation.
