Damp Proofing Specialists Manley
Are you dealing with a damp problem in your home? Perhaps you’ve noticed an unusual smell? Maybe there’s mould or dark patches appearing in the corners? We’re here to help!
Understanding the different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically rises upwards from ground level, usually a sign of a damaged damp proof course or external ground levels being too high around the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture entering from outside and making its way through into your home
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity levels, commonly found in bathrooms or bedrooms where there’s insufficient ventilation to remove moisture from the space
Damp proofing involves identifying and treating damp issues within your walls. Our work addresses rising damp through a fresh chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by faulty walls or pointing, plus condensation and mould management.
When rising damp is the issue, reducing the outside ground level can make a real difference, as it should sit at least 150mm beneath your internal floor level. In situations where this isn’t practical, we may recommend installing land drainage, French gravel drains and applying external wall protection to the lower sections (tanking).
Our treatment process usually involves fitting the DPC, removing affected plaster and re-rendering with salt resistant materials, whilst tackling the root cause of the moisture problem.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Manley, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and much more.
