Diagnosis and treatment of rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city.

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.
Uccle is green, large and hilly: villas from the 1920s to the 1970s on big plots, often in natural slate or clay tile, with long slopes and old trees right above them. It is the Brussels municipality where maintenance — leaves, moss, valleys — weighs heaviest.
What we get called out for in Uccle
Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city. The calls come in after autumn: leaves in the valleys, moss on the north side, a branch that has broken tiles. Alongside that, the large villa roofs of the 1960s and 1970s are gradually coming round to a full renewal.

Pour un devis, la visite à Uccle se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 15 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Forest ou Ixelles, 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.
