ᐅ Interior plaster has been frozen for two weeks and needs to be inspected.

We unfortunately have a plastering issue.
Our interior plaster was applied two days before the current cold period. Since then, it has been freezing on the walls for two weeks. The house is still open and not heated. In some areas, the plaster has become porous, rough, and flaky. Can the plaster be damaged in ways that are not visible and only become apparent once the house is in use? Is it possible to have the plaster inspected, and who would perform such an inspection?

Hello Krolock,

If the plaster or the water in the plaster has frozen, the plaster cannot properly bond with the masonry. Therefore, it is possible that the plaster may later come off or hollow spots may develop. Tap along the entire wall and listen to how it sounds. Since your house is still open and not heated, moisture from outside is also affecting it. First, tap everything and then you can decide on the next steps.

P.S. Didn’t you or the bricklayer check the weather forecast?
