Ceiling leak stains

Element/ Interior Ceiling Component Descriptions of Defect Dull stains can be seen from the plastered ceiling. Possible Cause of Defect Water leak in or on the ceiling can also result from plumbing leakage or leakage of roofs or other sources of indoor water or high levels of moisture, although leakage from above is the most common cause of water damage to ceilings. The leakage soaks into the ceiling and then evaporates, leaving a layer of stain on the surface. Remedies 1) Firstly, find the source of the leak. 2) If the possibility of source is from the roof, locate and fix cracking shingles, damaged flashing (weatherproofing material installed on the roof) or defective seals around roof vents, both of which may give way to leaks. 3) Later, apply an oil-based coat of stain primer. 4) Repaint the ceiling with a layer of ceiling paint, or using Stormdy Masonry Treatment

Penetrating damp patches on wall Internal Wall

Descriptions of Defect Patches of damp stain are seen on the wall. The wall and its paint are damaged by the dampness. The colour will rust and stain the wall. Possible Cause of Defect The fault is due to the exposure of the wall to damp conditions. This can happen because of leakage to facilities such as pipes, tanks and fittings, or because of penetrating dampness as moisture from outside reaches the internal wall. The leakage soaks into the wall and then evaporates, leaving a layer of stain on the surface. Remedies 1) Carry out visual inspection by using electronic moisture meter readings to check the dampness of the wall. 2) If the issue occurs from service leakage, seek professional help to locate the cause of the problem and remedy it as soon as possible, such as repairing or removing the pipe to avoid the leakage. 3) However, although the area appears moist, is actually dry when checked with a moisture meter then the problem might be from room humidifiers, or humidity from weather.
