Blistering Paint: Check Moisture and Preparation

Blistering or peeling paint can involve moisture, contamination, poor preparation or incompatible coating layers.

What to record

Blistering or peeling paint can involve moisture, contamination, poor preparation or incompatible coating layers. Record when it appears, the wall location and any recent painting or repairs. It should not automatically be diagnosed as a waterproofing failure.

Before choosing a repair

If a leak is involved, repair the source before reinstating the finish. The wall condition and the coating manufacturer’s substrate requirements determine preparation and drying. A fresh coat of paint is not evidence that a concealed leak has been repaired.

Discuss the scope

ODS Construction Chemicals focuses on waterproofing, supported by concrete repair, flooring and finishing. We also consider selected renovation and construction projects. Send the location, photographs and proposed scope to confirm whether we can take on your project. A guide is not a quotation or a promise of a particular method, product or completion date. Where a project proceeds, the written scope sets out the work and any warranty offered.
