Repainting a damp wall without treating the cause only hides the problem for a few months.
Damp walls are one of the most common problems in Ghanaian buildings: paint bubbling and peeling at the bottom of walls, white salt deposits, black mould, musty smells and crumbling plaster on boundary walls and house walls alike.
FreeCoat diagnoses the source first — rising damp from the ground, rain penetration, plumbing leaks, poor drainage or missing damp-proof layers. We then strip damaged paint and plaster, apply bitumen or cementitious waterproofing where needed, re-plaster with suitable mixes, allow proper drying and repaint with breathable or moisture-resistant coatings.
We treat dampness on house walls, boundary walls, basements, bathrooms and commercial buildings across Accra and Ghana, often alongside leak repairs and full repainting.
