I recently visited a client , I must say a beautifully done up place. As I stood there for couple of minutes there was a pungent smell. The client said this is the reason we have called you.
When I closely looked around I realized that the paint had peeled at many places, particularly just above the skirting.
When I checked the moisture levels, it was around 45% and on tapping the wall I could feel the hollowness in the wall too. The point here is there were molds growing inside the walls.
These molds produce gases called microbial volatile organic compound(MVOC) which has a musty smell. These molds grow where they get moisture, like inside the wall and carpets.
He was really concerned as, in Covid-19 pandemic this is not a good sign as it could lead to respiratory track infection. After proper investigation we provided him with a proper waterproofing solution .
We did injection grouting which were done at a distance of not more than 1”c/c vertically as well as horizontally and chemicals where injected along with the cement and water will filed all the gaps and voids and rendered the surface hard to resist ingress of water, therefore preventing the patchy walls and mold growth.
With proper waterproofing solution we could within a week get the the moisture levels around 13%.
Don’t live with the molds and leakage in the house.
