What Are The Benefits Of Damp Proofing A Ceiling?

It is advisable to consult an expert to assess the best course of action for moisture or mould on ceilings or terraces. They can identify damp or mould and trace the cause of the issue, as well as discuss treatment options with you. The suggested remedies depend on the amount of damage the moisture has incurred. To effectively waterproof the ceiling, the source of the moisture must be addressed, even if it is close to concrete.
