Damp treatment à Ixelles
Diagnosis and treatment of rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. In Ixelles we are mainly called for two things: the zinc work on the old grand town houses — dormers, valleys, domes, junctions against the neighbouring facade — and the flat roofs of post-war blocks, where it is the managing agent who decides and the paperwork takes longer than the job.

What that changes here
In a Brussels terraced house damp comes from three sides: from above through the box gutter, from the side through the party wall, and from below through rising damp in the cellar. We only treat what comes from the roof, and we say so when the cause is elsewhere — paying for a facade treatment because of a leaking box gutter is the classic mistake.
Around the ponds and in the Louise district is the most carefully built stock in the city: grand town houses from the late 19th century, Art Nouveau, natural slate, zinc dormers and a great deal of detail work. Further out, the 1960s apartment blocks and their flat roofs dominate. Two worlds, two techniques.

Pour un devis, la visite à Ixelles se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 12 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Brussels ou Uccle, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; le traitement de l’humidité n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Then no injection will change anything. Condensation is a matter of ventilation, heating and thermal bridges. We tell you so, even if it means we have nothing to sell — it still costs you less than a pointless treatment.
By its height and its regularity: a horizontal band eighty centimetres to over a metre high, even along the whole length of the wall, often with salt efflorescence and plaster coming away. If the stain appears after rain and sits higher up, it is penetrating damp.
