Syalon 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I have a situation and hope to seek some knowledge from the homeowners here. My resale unit is currently undergoing renovation and the contractor had plastered the wall of the whole place 3 weeks ago. A few days back when i visited the unit to look at the progression, i noticed that on one of the room wall, there are chalky white powder on them. They come off easily when i brush them off. I read that that may be the result of moisture. I am concerned that after brushing them off the same thing might happen again, damaging the paint which will be done soon, as well as the carpentry cabinet work that will be done on the wall (covering the area). The plaster guy said this is a normal occurrence, will be brushing it off and observe how it goes. Have anyone experience the same kind of issue on their wall? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks Edited October 19, 2017 by Syalon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juzzhome 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2017 This is quite common. Your contractor would be able to get the workman to use a trowel and sand paper to make it smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
