🌧️ Why Homes in Wirral Are Prone to Damp
With high rainfall, coastal winds, and older solid-wall construction common across the Wirral, damp is a frequent concern for homeowners. From penetrating damp to rising moisture, the solution often requires more than just a surface fix.
That’s where professional tanking and breathable plastering can make all the difference.
🛠️ What Is Tanking?
Tanking is the process of applying a waterproof barrier to internal walls to stop moisture from entering the home. It’s particularly effective in:
✅ Ground-level rooms with high external ground levels
✅ Properties without an existing DPC
✅ Areas exposed to driving rain or poor drainage
At Weather Wise Solutions, we use high-performance tanking systems from PAM Ties to keep walls dry from the inside out.
🎨 Why Use Breathable Plaster After Tanking?
Once tanking is installed, it’s vital to use a breathable, salt-resistant plaster to allow walls to manage residual moisture safely.
✔️ Prevents damp reappearing due to salt contamination
✔️ Stops plaster failure or flaking
✔️ Allows walls to breathe while maintaining protection
✔️ Creates a smooth, clean finish ready for decorating
