Damp proofing is a protective process to prevent moisture transmitting into walls that are in contact with the ground. There are two main reasons why Damp Proofing becomes necessary, one is if your property has Rising Damp from the ground, the other is if you have Lateral Damp Penetration, from below the ground, or both.

If you are considering converting an existing Basement, Cellar or Vault into habitable use, Damp Proofing should be the most important aspect of the whole project. Because these areas are below ground, considerable damp can penetrate laterally, under hydrostatic pressure and this must be professionally controlled or prevented, prior to other work being considered.

Water damage restoration is a specialist discipline and therefore should only be carried out by a specialist, damp restoration company, employing qualified technicians. Ignoring the blurred line between specialist and builder may only lead to further, secondary problems later.

We have all seen Condensation at some time or another. It can affect a property of any size or age and is caused by several factors; the main one being the lifestyle of the occupants.

Just the words Dry Rot can instil fear into anyone who thinks they may have it and so it should because Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans) is one of the most insidious and highly destructive problems a property can have.

Woodworm and Wet Rot are both collective terms: Woodworm is a generic term for several species of wood-boring insects, that infest the timber of UK properties, some of which, weakening and destroying it beyond treatment.
