Stop Damp, Leaks & Moisture Intrusion Across Knysna
With Knysna's steep hillsides, high water tables, and dense coastal indigenous forests, moisture intrusion is one of the biggest threats to residential structures.
The Restorers provides full-scope waterproofing solutions, from damp-proof course (DPC) injection to subterranean retaining wall tanking, chimney flashings, and shower basin waterproofing. We diagnose the root cause of water penetration rather than just covering up paint bubbles.
Specialized Solutions for Hillside & Waterfront Properties
Properties built into Knysna's steep hillsides (such as in Simola, Paradise, and Upper Old Place) frequently suffer from hydrostatic water pressure behind retaining walls. Meanwhile, waterfront homes in Leisure Isle and Belvidere encounter capillary rising damp. Our team applies multi-barrier chemical DPC injections, crystalline slurry coatings, and drainage tanking systems to keep foundations bone-dry.
Rising Damp Remediation: Chemical injection systems that create an impenetrable barrier inside masonry to stop rising moisture.
Wet Area Damp-Proofing: Tanking systems for showers, bathrooms, and laundry areas prior to tiling, ensuring zero leak leaks.
Retaining Wall Tanking: Heavy-duty waterproof coatings applied to the soil-facing side of brick and concrete walls to stop lateral damp.
Our Waterproofing Process
We apply industry-standard damp-proofing protocols to permanently isolate water from your building's structure.
Moisture Diagnosis
We map the affected area using digital moisture meters to locate the source of leaks or ground water ingress.
Stripping & Cleaning
We strip salt-damaged plaster, clean concrete, and grind joints to prepare the bare brick or masonry surface.
Chemical Treatment
We apply salt-neutralising washes and inject silicone creams or apply cementitious waterproofing slurries.
Re-Plaster & Finish
We re-plaster the walls using specialized plaster mixes containing waterproofing additives to prevent reoccurrence.
