Damp Proofing Specialists Neston
Are you dealing with damp in your property? Perhaps you’ve detected an unusual smell? Maybe mould or dark patches appearing in the corners? We can help.
Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically rises from the ground upwards, usually indicating a compromised DPC or outside ground levels positioned too high against the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture entering from the outside and making its way through to the interior
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity in rooms such as bathrooms or bedrooms without adequate ventilation to remove the moisture
Damp proofing identifies and remedies damp within walls. Our work addresses rising damp through chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by compromised walls or pointing, plus condensation and mould management.
Where rising damp is present, reducing the outside ground level can prove highly effective, as it should sit at least 150mm beneath the internal floor level. In situations where this isn’t achievable, installing land drainage, French gravel drains and applying external wall tanking to the lower sections is advisable.
Treatment usually involves installing the DPC, removing affected plaster and re-rendering with salt retardant materials, whilst tackling the root cause of the damp.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Neston, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
