Spotting Common Damp Problems

It’s a good idea to understand common damp problems so that you can be educated when a damp proofing specialist suggests extra work needs to be done. Common types of damp and how to spot it are shown below.

Rising damp

Rising damp is a big problem in older homes where a damp course hasn’t been applied or where previous damp treatments have failed. Signs of rising damp include:

• Wet walls
• Tide marks
• Peeling wallpaper

Wet and Dry Rot

Wet and dry rot are common forms of fungal decay that cause structural issues if not treated quickly. Signs of wet and dry rot include:

• A damp musty smell
• Cracking and softening of timber
• Fungal growth

Condensation Control

Condensation occurs when moist air comes into contact with a colder surface like (e.g walls, windows, mirrors). Condensation is common in houses during the winter months. Common symptoms of condensation problems include:

• Damp, wet patches on walls,
• Black mould
• Wallpaper peeling
• Streaming windows

Damp Proofing Costs in Spalding

Application conditions

Putty EP-0020 is applied at temperatures from +5°С to + 30°С and relative humidity not more than 80%.

Features of putties

• High water resistance, resistance to mineral oils, gasolines, detergents.
• Low volatile content – less than 10%;
• When diluted with organic solvents, putties can be used as primers.

Preparing for work

The metal surface must be cleaned from rust, scale, metal oxides, etc. to degree 2 in accordance with GOST 9.402-80 (the surface must have a uniform roughness, metallic luster, a darker shade of metal is allowed in areas where scale was) and degreased to degree 1 in accordance with GOST 9. 402-80 (no traces of grease on the filter paper after wiping the surface).

Cleaning is carried out by sandblasting or shot blasting, cleaning with cord brushes is allowed.

For degreasing, the metal surface is wiped with a rag soaked in white spirit and dry rags; it is not allowed to use volatile solvents for degreasing.

If painting is carried out immediately after shot-blasting (sandblasting), degreasing can be omitted, and it is recommended to pre-degrease especially contaminated areas.

Putties can also be applied on surfaces primed with epoxy primers.

Application

Before use, make sure that the putty base is well mixed and uniform throughout the entire volume of the container.

To prepare the composition, mix the hardener with the base in the ratio: hardener No. 1 – 8.5 parts per 100 parts of putty paste and mix thoroughly for at least 10 minutes.

The prepared putty is applied to the metal surface with a spatula at an ambient temperature of at least 5 ºС, creating an even surface if possible.

After the layer has completely dried (24 hours at 20ºС), the putty surface is polished, after which subsequent layers of putty or other paints and varnishes are applied.

When used as a primer, putties are diluted to a viscosity that allows them to be applied by pneumatic spraying (18-20 sec. according to VZ-4).

Solvents can be used to dilute putties and wash tools: P-4, P-5 (P-5A).

Store putties indoors, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture.

Precautionary measures

Putty EP-0020 is flammable! Do not work near open sources of fire.

Work should be carried out with good ventilation, in rubber gloves, using personal protective equipment. Avoid inhalation and ingestion.

If putty gets on the skin, wash it with warm water and soap.

Keep away from children!

Storage

Guaranteed shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture.

What kind of putty is and how to work with it

Perfect leveling of any surfaces is an important stage in repair and construction. This is a matter of convenience, practicality, aesthetics and the quality of the repair itself. Various cracks, bulges, holes and other irregularities are a defect that needs to be worked on.

Putty – what is it?

Using putty, people get rid of minor defects, minor irregularities, preparing walls or ceilings for applying the finish coat. For example, before gluing wallpaper, the walls must be leveled with putty.

Putty can be starting or finishing, depending on the amount of filler. For example, the starting putty is very strong, thick and dense, it is applied before the finish coat. Dried putty is characterized by a slight unevenness. It should not be embarrassing, this does not mean that the surface is poorly leveled – it’s just that the sand in the putty has a large fraction and therefore leaves a roughness.

Finishing putty after drying leaves an even and smooth layer. It is used at the end of leveling, applying a thin layer. It is not as strong as the starting counterpart, but it is great for creating a surface without defects and flaws. After applying the finishing putty, you can proceed to the decorative finish.

Combined options are also found in the construction markets. They are not as rough as the starting putty, but they are unlikely to provide an impeccably smooth coating. But they are durable and are successfully used in situations where the ideal evenness of the coating is not critical.

Different types of putties adapted to different surfaces and types of premises

BUY THE STUTTY CHEAP

What is putty made of? Depending on the materials used, it can be:

• Plaster
• Cement
• Polymeric
• Oil adhesive

Gypsum putty is used as a finish. It is very easy to apply, smoothes well and dries quickly. Gypsum provides plasticity, but gypsum putty does not have moisture resistance. Paste based on it is safe for health, has a small weight, which makes it easier to work, and is inexpensive. If the room is quite humid, and water can get on the surface, it is better to use a cement or polymer mass, depending on the purpose. Gypsum readily absorbs excess moisture, thereby regulating the microclimate in the room, but excess water can destroy the putty layer.

Cement putty is very strong and dense and is more difficult to apply. The polymer is a little lighter, it has excellent adhesion, but such a mixture will also cost more. The combination of cement and sand helps to obtain a sufficiently heavy, dense and durable mass, while not spending large amounts on materials. Neither temperature changes nor high humidity will harm high-quality cement putty. It should be borne in mind that it dries for a long time, and stock up on time.

Polymer putty is still somewhat new on the construction market. This is a plastic, rather light and easy-to-use paste, made on an acrylic, polymer cement or latex basis. A wide range of uses, versatility, strength and plasticity are the main advantages of polymer putty. To save money, it is better to buy dry mixes. If you need to carry out finishing, you should stop at acrylic putty, and if you need a starter – on latex. Polymer cement putty is a particularly strong and dense paste, which is most often bought for outdoor work.

If you plan to putty concrete and wood surfaces, you should look at the oil putty. It is not afraid of moisture, fits well on the material and serves as an excellent base for paint. A paste is made on the basis of drying oil with the addition of additional plasticizers, chalk, desiccants and other components. There is also an oil-adhesive putty. This option is perfect for interior work and pre-treatment of surfaces before facing.

The wider the surface to be puttied, the wider the trowel should be

Combination of surface and putty

The choice of putty mixture also depends on the surface to which the paste is to be applied. It’s easy to figure it out:

Walls – any putty, you should rather focus on other factors: room humidity and type of cladding. The room is dry – you can buy a gypsum mixture. If it is a kitchen or bathroom, it is desirable to choose a cement or polymer (specifically acrylic) putty.

Ceilings – either gypsum or polymer putty is preferred and is easier to work with when applied to the ceiling. They are lighter and more plastic than the same cement paste. It is worth remembering the moisture resistance of the material.

Separately, it is worth mentioning ceramic tiles, under which putty is sometimes simply necessary, for example, if there are significant irregularities on the walls. Tile adhesive already provides good adhesion and helps to secure the tiles to the surface, but this is not always enough. At the same time, not every putty mixture is suitable for tiles. For example, it is better not to use oil – it will not provide good adhesion in the future, the layer will turn out to be unreliable. But cement putty is perfect – it is moisture resistant, strong, dense and durable.

Applying putty in stages

So, it’s time to level the walls or ceilings before the final application of paint or wallpapering.

Stage 1 – first, the surface is cleaned of significant dirt, dust, after which it must be degreased and primed. Priming strengthens and improves adhesion to putty, improves the characteristics of the material of walls, ceilings and other surfaces. And if work is to be done, for example, in the bathroom, it’s a good idea to purchase an antifungal agent or a primer with increased moisture protection in advance.

Stage 2 – after the preparatory work is completed, you can start cooking pasta. If the mixture is dry, dilute it with water. The quantity is indicated on the factory packaging. There are also ready-made putties, but they are more expensive than dry blanks. If there is already a diluted mixture, it still needs to be mixed well before use.

For kneading the paste, a construction mixer is well suited

Stage 3 – when the mixture is ready, you can putty. For this, a pair of spatulas is useful – bigger and smaller. It is more convenient to scoop putty with a small tool, after that you can work with a wide spatula. It is convenient for them to apply the composition to the surface and level it. The larger the surface area to be worked on, the wider the spatula will be. Regardless of the type of putty chosen, there should be two tools – it is more convenient to putty, and the layer itself will turn out smoother and better.

Work goes faster and easier with two tools

If you decide to apply two layers of paste, between them, if desired, you can apply a layer of primer.

Finishing putty is used after complete drying of the starting putty. Here, too, you will need 2 spatulas. Particular attention should be paid to the corners, it is more difficult to work with them than with a flat surface. There are special spatulas for external and internal corners, which differ from the standard shapes.

Corners are easier to putty with a special spatula

If you are interested in the question of how to putty drywall, the answer is quite simple – just like ordinary walls. Do not forget about the primer layer, which will strengthen the drywall and improve adhesion with putty.
