Damp Proofing Specialists Moreton
Struggling with damp in your property? Perhaps you’ve detected a musty odour? Spotted mould or dark patches appearing in the corners? We’re here to help!
Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically rises upwards from ground level, usually pointing to a compromised DPC or external ground levels positioned too high against the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture penetrating from outside and working its way through to the interior
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity levels in spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms where there’s insufficient ventilation to expel moisture from the room
Damp proofing identifies and resolves damp issues within walls. Our work addresses rising damp through fresh chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by faulty walls or pointing, plus condensation and mould management.
When dealing with rising damp, reducing the outside ground level can make a substantial difference, as it needs to sit at least 150mm beneath your internal floor level. Where this proves impractical, we recommend installing land drainage systems, French gravel drains and applying external tanking to the lower wall sections.
Treatment generally involves fitting the DPC, removing damaged plaster and re-rendering with salt-inhibiting materials, whilst tackling the underlying cause of moisture ingress.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Moreton, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
