Specialist rising damp treatment installs chemical damp proof courses, replaces failed membranes, and repairs damaged plasterwork. Our guaranteed solutions prevent ground moisture from rising through walls, protecting your property from structural damage and decay.
Rising damp occurs when ground moisture travels upwards through porous building materials via capillary action, typically affecting walls up to one metre above ground level. This serious issue requires professional treatment to prevent extensive structural damage, timber decay, and health problems. Our specialist treatments provide long-lasting protection with comprehensive guarantees.
Characteristic indicators include a tide mark on walls (usually 1 metre high), damp or crumbling plaster, peeling paint and wallpaper, white salt deposits (efflorescence), decaying skirting boards, and a musty smell. Rising damp is often caused by failed or absent damp proof courses, bridged DPCs due to high external ground levels, or damaged membranes. Our surveyors accurately diagnose rising damp and rule out other moisture issues.
We use only premium quality materials from leading manufacturers and our work is covered by comprehensive guarantees (typically 20-30 years). Our qualified specialists follow industry standards and best practices to ensure effective, long-lasting results. After treatment, we provide detailed documentation, maintenance advice, and guarantee certificates that are transferable to future property owners, adding value and peace of mind.
