Our Damp Proofing Services
From a single damp wall to a full property waterproofing project — we assess, treat, and protect using Damp Gone S.A.'s advanced micro-water repellent technology, backed by a 5-year guarantee.
Surfaces We Treat
Damp Gone S.A. products are engineered to penetrate and protect a wide range of porous surfaces found in South African homes and buildings.
Raw Plaster
Interior and exterior plastered walls treated with wet-on-wet application for deep penetration.
- Walls: Both exterior and interior walls, including brick, plaster, and facebrick.
- Can even be applied to wet walls to help dry them out and prep for painting.
Cement Bricks
Ideal for Damp Gone Xtreme — stops moisture moving through brick and block work.
- Walls: Both exterior and interior walls, including brick, plaster, and facebrick.
- Can even be applied to wet walls to help dry them out and prep for painting.
Concrete Slabs
Floors and flat roofs waterproofed against moisture ingress and rising damp.
- Concrete: Concrete slabs, foundations, and walls.
- Highly recommended to spray on concrete slabs to prevent water penetration before laying torch-on waterproofing.
Natural Stone Cladding
Stone surfaces treated after full drying — at least four days after rain or washing.
- Fixtures: Decorative stone cladding and bathroom grout.
- Compatible types: Sandstone, slate, travertine, or quartz tiles.
Painted Walls
Loose paint removed first, then Damp Gone applied before re-priming and painting.
- Walls: Both exterior and interior walls, including brick, plaster, and facebrick.
- Can even be applied to wet walls to help dry them out and prep for painting.
Roof Tiles
Exposed to sunlight for full drying before application for optimal results.
Algae and moss require a continuous supply of moisture trapped inside porous roof tiles to thrive.
- Outdoor Hardscapes: Roof tiles, paving around pools or patios, and boundary walls.
- Compatible types: Low-fired clay tiles (terracotta, unglazed quarry), concrete & cement tiles (cast concrete pavers, interlocking driveway tiles, unglazed cement floor tiles).
- Starves Organisms of Water: Damp Gone penetrates deep into the tile, blocking water absorption completely. Without moisture, spores cannot take root or grow.
- Keeps Tiles Clean Longer: By keeping the tile dry on the surface, it prevents organic debris from bonding, ensuring your roof retains its clean appearance for years.
Tiles You CANNOT Treat: Do not use Damp Gone on glazed ceramic or porcelain tiles. The shiny glass-like glaze prevents the liquid from soaking in — the product will pool on top, dry out, and leave white, powdery stains.
Wood
Timber surfaces and skirting boards treated to prevent moisture absorption and rot.
Because wood is a naturally porous material, the micro-liquid technology penetrates deep into the fibers. It creates an invisible, breathable barrier that:
- Repels water to prevent rot and warping.
- Resists fungal growth like mold and mildew.
- Maintains breathability, allowing internal moisture to escape so the wood does not trap dampness inside.
Tile Grout
Grout lines sealed against moisture penetration — ideal for wet areas, bathrooms and kitchens.
- Fixtures: Decorative stone cladding and bathroom grout.
Tiles You CANNOT Treat: Do not use Damp Gone on glazed ceramic or porcelain tiles. The shiny glass-like glaze prevents the liquid from soaking in — the product will pool on top, dry out, and leave white, powdery stains.
Does Your Property Have Damp?
Damp left untreated causes structural damage and health risks. Look out for these warning signs.
Peeling Paint or Wallpaper
Moisture pushing through walls causes paint and wallpaper to bubble and peel.
Mold or Mildew Growth
Dark spots or musty smells are a clear sign of damp penetration.
Tide Marks on Walls
Horizontal staining low on walls is a classic sign of rising damp.
Wet or Damp Patches
Visible wet patches on walls, floors or ceilings after rain or humidity.
Efflorescence (White Powder)
White crystalline deposits on walls indicate water moving through masonry.
Rotting Skirting Boards
Timber near floor level that is soft or rotting points to rising damp.
