Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically ascends from ground level upwards, usually indicating a compromised DPC or excessive outside ground levels surrounding the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture penetrating from the outside and making its way into the interior
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity in areas such as bathrooms or bedrooms where there is insufficient ventilation to expel moisture from the space
Damp proofing identifies and remedies damp within walls. Our work encompasses rising damp through fresh chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp resulting from faulty walls or pointing, alongside condensation and mould management.
When dealing with rising damp, reducing the outside ground level can provide substantial assistance, as it ought to sit at least 150mm beneath the internal floor level. In situations where this proves impractical, the installation of land drainage, french gravel drains and wrapping the lower section of the external wall is advised (tanking).
Treatment usually involves fitting the DPC, removing affected plaster and re plastering using salt retardant render, whilst tackling the underlying cause of the damp.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Guildon Sutton, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
