Frequently Asked Questions About Damp Proofing
What types of damp proofing do you offer?
We provide damp proofing solutions for roofs and basements, alongside treatments and repairs designed to address rising damp and penetrating damp.
What is rising damp?
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground moves upwards through porous building materials, such as brickwork and mortar. It can cause damp patches, damaged plaster and deterioration near the base of internal walls.
What is penetrating damp?
Penetrating damp occurs when water enters a property through defects such as damaged roofing, cracks in walls, deteriorating mortar joints or faulty waterproofing. It can affect walls and ceilings at different heights.
Can you damp proof a roof?
Yes. Roof waterproofing and suitable repairs can help prevent water ingress caused by deteriorating roof coverings, damaged flashing, defective joints and other vulnerable areas.
Can basements be damp proofed?
Yes. Basement damp proofing can involve waterproof membranes, tanking systems or drainage solutions, depending on the construction and the source and severity of water ingress.
How do I know whether I have rising damp or penetrating damp?
Rising damp generally affects lower sections of walls, while penetrating damp may appear at various heights, often near a defect allowing water to enter. A proper assessment is essential because condensation, plumbing leaks and other problems can produce similar symptoms.
How much does damp proofing cost?
The cost depends on the type of damp, the affected area and the treatment required. Contact us to arrange an assessment and receive a free, no-obligation quotation.
