Wall condition assessment
We check porosity, cracking, and existing coating failure before recommending treatment.
Problem & causes
Interior damp patches often start on the outside
Signs you have this problem
- Damp patches on interior walls that share a wall with the building’s exterior
- Visible cracks or crumbling plaster on the outer wall surface
- Paint peeling or bubbling on external walls after rain
- Damp patches that appear worse specifically on the side facing prevailing rain
Common root causes
- Porous or aged exterior plaster absorbing rainwater
- Cracks in the external wall surface letting water in directly
- Poor or missing waterproof coating from original construction
- Gaps around window frames and other wall penetrations
How Gracia diagnoses
What we do differently
Crack & joint sealing
Cracks and gaps around windows and frames are sealed first — the most common water entry points.
Weather-resistant coating
A durable waterproof coating suited to sun and rain exposure, applied to the full wall surface.
Minimal appearance change
Coatings chosen to protect without drastically altering the wall’s look, where that matters to you.
Our process
Symptom to warranty
01
Symptom
Bathroom leak, ceiling stain, wall damp or terrace seepage — what you see is the starting clue, not the diagnosis.
02
Inspection
On-site visual, thermal and optical checks. We do not quote a coating from a WhatsApp photo alone.
03
Evidence
Photos with marked points, thermal or moisture notes, and the limits of what the scan can prove.
04
Diagnosis
Cause labelled Confirmed, Probable, Possible or Excluded — then the minimum opening if we still need to verify.
05
Treatment
Quoted system, preparation, exclusions and testing. Work starts only after you approve the scope.
06
Warranty
The period on the quotation and certificate — not a generic banner number.

Questions
External wall — frequently asked
A clear or lightly tinted waterproof coating usually does not change the wall’s appearance significantly; specific finishes can be discussed during inspection.
