Hello Nairalanders, pls what can I do to salvage this situation. Why is my screeded wall peeling
It gets worse during the rainy season

What do you have in the other side of the wall? Bathroom or toilet?

The area you stay is the cause. causes by flood, or maybe your house close to the river and more also having bathroom next to your room

That is capillary rise in water.


Reason why a Damp proof course is needed in a building

Can someone please elaborate on this. I am facing same problem with my building. The whole house not just a particular spot. No water problems even during rainy season.

What type of material did you use for the screeded wall

A lot of things can caused this but I will list briefly what could be the likely cause;
1. Mixing proportion of the screeding materials used. POP cement, screeding paint and top gum are the major materials needed for screeding. If little or no gum was used during the screeding process, it's definitely going to peel off. The fault can come from both the client (choosing cheapest quote) or the apprentice (been greedy).
2. Water movement in the structure : there are two types of screeding; POP cement screeding and ordinary Portland cement screeding (common cement). POP cement screeding absorb water thus fail with time while ordinary cement screeding repel water.
3. Lack of professionalism. It's the duty of the called experts to observe and desire the best type of screeding for a building. Indeed POP cement screeding cost more than the other, some apprentice forget about doing proper observation. They only follow their stomach.

What's the best solution asides from tearing down and rebuilding (that's the way it's doing me)? We abandoned the master bedroom because of this. Now it shakes out dust

If it's the whole wall building,you can replaster the walls or re-screed the wall with cement screeding( must be handle by a Professional Apprentice)

What type of material did you use for the screeded wall

I really don’t know what the Landlord used for the screeding cos I’m a tenant

the Orange paint area is kitchen on the other side
While the beige paint area is the corridor

The landlord was suppose to use white cement for the screeding not calcium sulphate. Calcium doesn't go well with water.

They did rubbish work here,you cant replaster a wall on a painted wall na. Best approach, remove all the paint on the affected area and chisel the wall or terrazzo the wall with sharp sand and cement then replaster it.

I will send a message to you when I have the resources. Thank you for your time

Screeding is just a surface layer on plastering. Ask your expert to scrap it out and redo it provided that it's not caused by moisture movement in the building.
