Understanding Wall Damage in Ghana
Coastal and moisture-prone areas in Ghana present unique challenges for building finishes. Walls in Tema, Accra and surrounding areas commonly suffer from rising or penetrating damp, salt deposits, cracking plaster, and paint failure that returns despite multiple repainting attempts.
Proper wall reclamation starts with identifying the source of the problem. Whether it's rising damp from the foundation, penetrating moisture from external walls, salt crystallisation, or structural movement causing cracks — each issue requires a different treatment approach.
Common Wall Problems We Treat
Peeling & Bubbling Paint
Paint that flakes, bubbles or peels repeatedly despite fresh coats — usually a sign of underlying moisture.
Damp Staining
Dark patches and tide marks on walls indicating moisture penetration from internal or external sources.
Salt Deposits
White, crystalline salt deposits (efflorescence) on wall surfaces, common in coastal areas.
Cracks & Structural Movement
Hairline to wide cracks that allow water ingress and compromise wall integrity.
Failed Plaster
Plaster that has blown, crumbled or separated from the wall substrate.
Mould & Mildew
Fungal growth on walls caused by persistent damp and poor ventilation.
Our Wall Reclamation Process
Site Inspection
We visit your property to assess the extent and type of wall damage.
Moisture Diagnosis
Identify the source of moisture — rising damp, penetrating water, condensation, or salt.
Surface Preparation
Remove damaged plaster, scrape loose paint, clean affected areas thoroughly.
Treatment Application
Apply appropriate damp-proofing, salt-neutralising, or crack-treatment solutions.
Re-plastering & Re-screeding
Restore wall surfaces with quality plaster and screed where needed.
Final Finishing
Professional painting and decorative finish to restore the wall's appearance.
