Why St Peters Homes
Need a Specialist

St Peters sits low and close to the Torrens, and that geography shows up in the building fabric. Grand solid-brick and bluestone period properties, many with masonry base courses that stay damp longer than they should, and a correspondingly high incidence of salt damp and rising damp. The mistake we're called in to correct most often is cosmetic: someone has painted or rendered over damp masonry with a modern product, which seals the moisture inside and accelerates the damage while making it invisible for a season. The correct approach is the opposite — remove what's trapping the moisture, repoint in lime mortar, and where the salt load requires it apply a sacrificial lime render that is designed to be renewed on a cycle rather than to last forever.
