Stains at the bottom of walls, blistering paint, saltpetre, lifting tadelakt, a musty smell: rising damp is the silent illness of Marrakech houses, and especially of the Medina’s pisé riads. Waterproof cement and film-forming paints make everything worse by trapping the moisture. We treat the cause: an injection barrier or tanking depending on the wall, then drying-out and breathable finishes. An honest diagnosis before any works.
Rainy season Nov–Mar: The Marrakech rainy season runs from November to March: that is when every tired terrace reveals itself. An ignored leak costs up to 10 times the price of waterproofing — damaged beams, lifted tadelakt, mould, repainting — and cuts the value of the property. The right time to waterproof is before the first heavy rain, not after it.

What our clients say
“We called them for wall damp & rising damp treatment, then called them back for my parents’ roof. Nothing more to add.”
Leïla H. · Marrakech“A leak in the middle of the rainy season: fast response, temporary weatherproofing then the final repair at the quoted price.”
James H. · Marrakech“I was looking for an alternative to full demolition: liquid membrane and the terrace was like new in three days. I wish I had called earlier.”
Oliver P. · MarrakechFrequently asked questions: Wall damp & rising damp treatment
Not if the cause is treated: salt neutralisation, barrier against rising damp, breathable finish. Treating saltpetre without treating the rising damp, on the other hand, guarantees its return at the first wet season.
It is the most profitable visit of your purchase: for a few hundred dirhams you know what the walls hide, with a written report that gives you real negotiating leverage — or saves you from a very bad surprise.
From 100 to 300 DH per linear metre of treated wall depending on the technique: injection 100–220 DH/m on concrete or brick, pisé-specific protocol 150–300 DH/m. A riad typically needs 15,000–60,000 DH of treatment.
Rising damp starts at ground level and climbs evenly (up to 1 m and more), often with saltpetre; a leak makes localised stains linked to rain. Our moisture measurements settle it in one visit.
