From diagnosis to treatment, we’ve got you covered.

What is Damp Proofing?

Damp proofing involves identifying and treating areas of your home affected by excessive moisture. Whether it’s rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation issues, our expert solutions help to protect your property from damage and maintain a healthy, dry environment.

Types of Damp and Our Treatments

1. Rising Damp

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground seeps into the walls and floors of your property through capillary action. This often results in damp patches on walls, peeling wallpaper, or a musty smell.

Our Treatment for Rising Damp:

Installation of a chemical damp-proof course (DPC)

Injection of a liquid DPC into walls to create a barrier against moisture

Replacement of damaged plaster and redecoration to restore your walls

2. Penetrating Damp

Penetrating damp is caused by water entering your home through external walls, roofs, or windows due to structural issues such as cracks or faulty drainage.

Our Treatment for Penetrating Damp:

Sealing cracks and repairing brickwork or render

Waterproof coatings for external walls

Guttering and downpipe repairs to prevent water ingress

Installation of cavity wall insulation if necessary

3. Condensation

Condensation is a common issue in homes, especially during colder months. It occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, leading to damp patches, mold, and mildew.

Our Treatment for Condensation:

Installation of ventilation systems to improve airflow

Use of anti-condensation paint on problem areas

Advice on heating and ventilation practices to minimize moisture buildup

4. Basement and Cellar Damp Proofing

Basements and cellars are particularly prone to damp due to their location below ground level. Left untreated, this can lead to significant structural and health problems.

Our Treatment for Basements and Cellars:

Tanking systems to create a waterproof barrier on walls and floors

Installation of sump pumps and drainage channels

Waterproof membranes to protect against moisture ingress
