Major Problems:
Damp was penetrating the house through outside terrace grout. The walls were wet all around the first floor; the paint was flaking; damp was coming through the floor tile grout. On top of it, mould was present with an unpleasant smell, and the back side of the kitchen furniture was damaged.
Remedy:
- remove 2-3 rows of tiles around the house and clean the area down to the main construction;
- strip the outside walls to the main construction to a level where the paint is intact;
- insulate the above mentioned areas, applying special insulation materials and techniques;
- lay additional insulation on the wall-floor joint;
- cement the gap and affix new tiles;
- plaster and paint outside walls where necessary;
- clean, repair, and repaint inside walls where necessary.
