What that changes here
On the periphery damp often comes from outside and from above: an overflowing gutter, a failed flashing, a terrace built up too high against the facade. Our search always starts at the roof, not at the wall.
Kraainem is a small, densely built municipality on the periphery, with many interwar and 1950s houses. Slates and small clay tiles are more common here than elsewhere on the periphery, and they call for a different approach from the concrete tile of the housing estates.
What we get called out for in Kraainem
Kraainem stands out for its materials. Where the rest of the periphery carries concrete tile, we still find a lot of natural slate and small interwar clay tiles. They call for a different hand and different fixings, and pressure washing is rarely a good idea here.
Kraainem porte le code postal 1950 et se situe in the eastern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 10 km : nous y planifions le traitement de l’humidité en même temps que les chantiers de Wezembeek-Oppem, Zaventem et Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Kraainem se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 10 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Wezembeek-Oppem ou Zaventem, 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.
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.
It works well on solid masonry with an accessible joint. On a cavity wall, in natural stone or filled with rubble, it is trickier, and another approach is more honest. We say so beforehand, rather than injecting and hoping.
