Damp Proofing Specialists Kelsall
Are you experiencing problems with damp in your property? Have you detected an unusual smell? Perhaps some 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 external ground levels that are too high surrounding the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture penetrating from the outside and making its way inside
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity in areas such as bathrooms or bedrooms without adequate ventilation to remove the moisture from the room
Damp proofing identifies and treats damp within walls. Our work encompasses rising damp through new chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by defective walls or pointing, and condensation and mould management.
When dealing with rising damp, reducing the outside ground level can prove highly beneficial, as it should sit at least 150mm below the internal floor level. In situations where this is not feasible, installing land drainage, French gravel drains and wrapping the lower section of the external wall is advised (tanking).
Treatment usually involves installing the DPC, removing affected plaster and re plastering with salt retardant render, and resolving the source of the damp.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Kelsall, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
