Brick Stone Slate Waterproofing treatment helps the buildings to breathe. It aids the moisture trapped inside the stonework to evaporate but prevents external moisture from entering the structure. A lot of moisture from rainwater gets absorbed in the stonework through hairline cracks but this can be avoided by using stone waterproofing.
Brick Stone Slate: UK’s ageing stone properties are at a greater risk of deterioration which is further aided by the perpetual rainy climate. Stone properties are susceptible to becoming damp and porous in time which helps water to further breach the structure.
This can do serious damage to the stonework and cause issues like frost damage, black mould, mortar joints breakdown, efflorescence blown stonework, carbonation damage, and moss. In severe cases, water builds up within the voids and cavities leading to cavity fill water saturation. A single application of the stone waterproofing material is enough to protect new as well as old stonewalls from moisture. The waterproof material enters the structure and keeps the walls dry by repelling external water while letting the internal moisture evaporate.
The brick stone waterproofing method is one of the best ways to protect your sandstone, slate or stone walls.
