Step-by-step guide

This how-to blog is going to take a deep dive into everything you need to know about preparing and painting damp walls. Can you paint over damp walls? When you select an anti damp seal paint then you want to make sure that you choose a paint that’s from a reputable brand and is of high quality that will work as it should. You want a paint that will provide great protection for your walls and ceilings and that will create a strong barrier and stop any moisture or water from penetrating your interiors.

For a DIY way to get rid of damp smells, try boiling some lemons or lemon peel in a pan of water. When the fresh lemon smell is emerging, place the pan in a room suffering from damp smells, but don’t leave it unattended. Once the mixture has cooled, pour it into a sprayer bottle and disperse it throughout your home for a fragrant boost. Adiseal outperformed competitors, staying clear both above and below the waterline. In contrast, competitor waterproof clear sealants turned white below the waterline, falling short.

You can use paint with Adiseal waterproof sealant. For oil or solvent-based paints, conducting a small area test is wise. Apply the sealant to a disposable item, let it cure, then apply the paint, observing if any peeling occurs. While most paints work fine with Adiseal, testing ensures compatibility, especially with certain types. Occasionally, penetrating damp can be caused by problems with cavity walls. Walls in modern homes (and many built since 1920) are usually constructed as two layers of wall with a cavity between them, so that moisture penetrating from outside can evaporate before it gets to the inner wall. Sometimes you will see crumbling paint or wallpaper hanging or bubbling this effect on walls and ceilings can be a sign that there is a damp problem in your home.

Lastly, in some rare cases, cavity wall insulation can cause damp problems. This is usually only the case if your home is exposed to severe levels of wind-driven rain or if your walls are poorly constructed or in very bad condition. You can find out more in our guide to wall insulation and damp problems.
