Frequently asked questions

How do I fix dampness in ground-floor walls in Kolkata?

Rising damp needs a damp-proof barrier at the base of the wall, removal of salt-damaged plaster, and re-plastering with a waterproof, breathable plaster. The Kolkata team can recommend suitable Fairmate Prashita products.

Which waterproofing works for a basement with a high water table?

Basements under constant water pressure need a system that works from the negative side, such as crystalline waterproofing, along with sealing of construction joints and pipe entries.
