Understanding Salt Contamination

At Insitu, we understand how salt contamination can damage the appearance and structure of your property. Our team of specialists provides tailored treatments that address the root causes of salt contamination, ensuring long-lasting protection and a healthy living environment for your home or business.

Salt contamination occurs when soluble salts—such as chlorides, nitrates, and sulphates—are drawn into building materials like plaster, mortar, and bricks through moisture ingress. As moisture evaporates, these salts crystallise on surfaces, leaving unsightly marks and causing structural damage.
Often linked to rising damp or penetrating damp, salt contamination can also result from external factors such as groundwater infiltration or the use of contaminated building materials during construction.

If you’re experiencing multiple moisture-related issues, explore our penetrating damp services for a comprehensive solution to protect your property.

How We Effectively Treat Salt Contamination

Salt contamination happens when moisture moves through porous building materials, carrying soluble salts along with it. The common causes include:

Diagnosing the Moisture Source

Our team begins by identifying the root cause of the moisture responsible for bringing salts into your building. This could involve diagnosing rising damp, penetrating damp, or groundwater issues.

Removing Contaminated Materials

After addressing the moisture source, we remove contaminated materials like plaster and mortar. These are replaced with specialist salt-resistant products that prevent future contamination.

Restoring and Protecting Surfaces

To ensure your property remains intact, we apply breathable finishes that allow residual moisture to evaporate while shielding surfaces from further salt damage. External areas also receive weather-resistant coatings to protect against water ingress.

Treating Affected Timber

If timber has been impacted by salt contamination, we offer targeted treatments to address the damage and provide future protection against deterioration.

To keep your property safe from recurring damp problems, consider our damp proofing services for long-term protection.
