Why your walls stay damp after monsoon

Rising damp, lateral seepage, and internal condensation all look like "damp walls" — but each needs a different fix. Guwahati humidity makes this worse on ground and top floors.

Symptoms

• Paint bubbling and peeling
• Dark patches that spread in monsoon
• Salt crystals on wall surface
• Wall feels cold and wet to touch

Diagnosis

Moisture meter profiling at multiple heights, external visual survey, and salt analysis to distinguish rising vs penetrating damp.

Does damp proof paint work?

Only on surface condensation. Rising or lateral seepage needs waterproofing at source.
