Fortunately, <strong>there are ways to treat these dampnesses without getting too complicated.<\/strong>. In this article we will show you how to identify, prevent and solve them. In addition, we will explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/tecnoprodist.com\/en\/tecpint-termic-pintura-aislante-termico-y-acustico-sonido-reverberacion-al-agua-interior-antihumedad-sin-olor-blanco\/\"><strong>Tecpint Termic from Tecno Prodist<\/strong><\/a>a versatile product that offers <strong>an effective solution against humidity<\/strong>keeping the walls of your home dry and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does dampness appear on the walls of the room?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before applying any solution, it is essential to understand where the damp is coming from, as this will determine the appropriate treatment. Here are some of the most common reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>External leakage<\/strong>If your wall is directly exposed to the outside, leaks from rain or pipes can cause damp problems. If you suspect that you have a leak from the outside, you will have to pre-treat the problem on the outside with Tecno Prodist products from the range <strong>waterproofing<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Condensation<\/strong>Condensation occurs when moist indoor air meets a cold surface, creating small water droplets that accumulate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of ventilation<\/strong>A poorly ventilated room favours the appearance of damp, especially in winter, as the air does not circulate and the excess humidity in the room is trapped.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have identified the source, you can begin to work on an effective solution, and this is where the <strong>Tecno Prodist products play a key role<\/strong>providing a protective layer against moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by step: How to remove damp from a room wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Preparation of the affected surface<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before applying any damp-proofing product, it is important to prepare the wall for long-lasting results. Here are the basic preparation steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deep cleaning<\/strong>: Remove the damaged paint or coating, clean the mould stains with water mixed with bleach, the easiest way is to mix 1 part bleach to 4 or 5 parts water in a spray bottle and spray the area with mould stains, leave to dry, if necessary repeat the operation or reduce the proportion of water (use gloves, mask and goggles when applying) and make sure the wall is completely dry before applying the subsequent paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crack repair<\/strong>If dampness has caused cracks in the wall, seal these cracks with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tecnoprodist.com\/en\/tecpint-wall-putty-white-wall-filler-white-wall-filler\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tecnoprodist.com\/tecpint-masilla-pared-masilla-de-relleno-pared-blanca\/\">TECPINT PUTTY<\/a><\/strong> before the application of the paints<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

This product adheres easily and creates a barrier that blocks moisture and condensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adequate drying<\/strong>Allow the first coat to dry for 6 - 8 hours to ensure its effectiveness. As it is a water-based paint, the drying process is usually fast and without unpleasant odours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application of additional layers<\/strong>Apply two more coats (3 in total) neat or thinned with a maximum of 5% of water, always allow 6-8 hours drying time between coats.
