RISING
DAMP

Rising damp can occur when the existing damp proof course (DPC) has failed due to a deterioration over time or if the outside ground level becomes higher then the DPC installed within the wall.
Rising Damp typically affects the colouration and integral strength of the plaster which can make a room smell “damp” and unsightly. It can also spread further along to adjoining walls if not treated in a timely manner.
We utilize different methods to rectify rising damp such as installing a chemical injection to create a new damp proof course, DPC membrane or Safeguards Tanking System.
CONDENSATION
CONTROL
Condensation issues typically arise in the colder months due to the outside temperatures becoming lower and indoors temperatures becoming higher. This often creates a dew point around the windows and external facing walls and if left over time, this can cause water oversaturation. Signs of water oversaturation are flaky paint, bubbling plaster and crumbling mortar between bricks.
Unfortunately, it's not only seasonal temperatures that contribute to condensation issues, it can also be down to living conditions and poor airflow.

BASEMENT/CELLAR
CONVERSIONS
If you have an unusable basement that you would like to use either for storage or to add an extra room to your home but are unable to due to smell/visual signs of damp, feel free to get in touch with us. We only use Safeguards type A damp proofing methods creating a water tight seal to the entire basement, making sure to eradicate penetrative damp and rising damp.
DRY ROT & WET ROT
Dry rot/wet rot can cause serious harm to your home. If left untreated, it can have a detrimental impact on the timber within your property which will have a direct impact on the structural integrity of your home.
