Here is a list of some of the typical damp proofing services we provide
Rising Damp Treatment
Protect your property from the damaging effects of rising damp with our specialised treatment solutions. Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground penetrates walls, leading to damage over time. Our expert team installs effective damp proof courses (DPCs) that act as barriers, preventing water from rising through your walls. We also treat affected areas to remove salts and stains, ensuring a clean and healthy living environment.
Penetrating Damp Solutions
Penetrating damp occurs when moisture seeps through external walls due to poor weatherproofing or damaged masonry. Our team offers comprehensive solutions to fix the root cause, including repairs to cracked brickwork, repointing, and the application of waterproofing treatments. By addressing these issues, we prevent further moisture infiltration and restore the integrity of your property.
Condensation Control
Condensation is a common cause of damp-related problems, particularly in poorly ventilated areas. Our condensation control services focus on improving airflow and humidity levels in your property, helping to reduce excess moisture and prevent related issues. From installing ventilation systems to addressing insulation concerns, we offer a range of strategies to tackle condensation effectively.
Basement & Cellar Waterproofing
Ensure your below-ground spaces remain dry and usable with our expert basement and cellar waterproofing services. Our team utilises advanced tanking systems and membranes to create a watertight barrier, preventing water ingress from surrounding soil. Whether you're looking to convert a basement into a functional living area or simply want to protect your property from damp, we provide reliable waterproofing solutions that stand the test of time.
External Waterproofing
Prevent damp from entering your property by fortifying its external defenses. Our external waterproofing services include the application of weatherproof coatings, rendering, and cavity drainage systems to protect your property from the elements. These treatments offer long-lasting protection, ensuring that your property remains dry even in the harshest weather conditions.
Cavity Wall Damp Solutions
Cavity wall damp can occur when moisture bridges the cavity, often due to insulation issues or mortar problems. Our expert team identifies and addresses the underlying causes of cavity wall damp by repairing damaged insulation, improving wall ties, and applying external waterproofing where necessary. We ensure your walls are fully protected, restoring their ability to resist moisture and prevent long-term damage to your property.
Damp Surveys and Assessments
Our comprehensive damp surveys and assessments provide a detailed analysis of your property’s moisture issues. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify the source of any damp problems, whether rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Once the issues are diagnosed, we offer tailored recommendations for effective damp proofing solutions. With our surveys, you can take proactive steps to protect your property from further damp damage.
Mould Removal & Prevention
Mould growth is a common result of excess moisture, often caused by condensation or hidden damp issues. Our mould removal services include safe and effective cleaning of affected areas, as well as identifying the root cause of the problem. We take preventive measures by improving ventilation, treating damp-prone areas, and ensuring humidity levels are managed, keeping your property free from mould and healthy in the long term.
