Effective solutions for efflorescence, peeling skirting, and balcony wall bubbling caused by heavy monsoon showers.
By FreshPallet Engineering•17 September 2026
Bangalore’s extended rainfall often causes white powdery deposits (efflorescence) and blistered paint along external-facing walls and balcony thresholds. Painting over damp walls is a waste of money—moisture must be trapped at the source.
Step-by-Step Moisture Barrier Treatment
- Strip damaged plaster down to bare masonry.
- Apply an anti-efflorescence chemical primer to seal water-soluble salts.
- Lay a 2-coat crystalline polymer waterproof base coat.
- Re-plaster with water-repellent polymer putty before emulsion application.
