Damp proofing measures

There are many different ways to protect a structure against damp. The source of water ingress into your home could be from a wide range of sources include cracked ceiling tiles, broken pipes, rising damp or penetrating damp. In the case of rising damp, a damp proof course is the most effective method. This is a chemical injection into your brickwork that creates a moisture barrier to keep damp out of your home.

We can also implement basement tanking, which is ideal for stopping penetrating damp. This involves coating the walls and floor of your basement with a waterproofing coating, or using membranes to keep moisture out of the space. This moisture can be directed into channels and then pumped out of your home to help control moisture levels.

  • Darker patches on the walls, ceiling or floors
  • Excess moisture on windows
  • Cold to the touch walls
  • Wallpaper that is wet or peeling
