Dambproofing

Damp within your home can take many forms and has many different causes. Usually damp is caused by excess water build up, faulty or broken waterproofing membrane or inadequate drainage. A leaking roof, leaking gutter, downpipe or internal pipe will cause moisture build over time and can cause plaster or exterior render to become loose and flaky which are common tell-tale signs of a damp problem. Even the smallest of leaks in your roof can, over time cause a damp issue and can also affect your timber and overall roof structure.

How Can We Help You ?

We understand that you have questions, and we welcome them. Below is the collection of queries which comes frequently from our clients.
How long will it take for my walls to dry after damp proof treatment?
We employ our damp proofing solution, DampBlock™, to counteract the effects of rising damp in your walls by blocking capillaries, reducing the walls ability to draw moisture upwards. After this process, the existing damp in your walls will generally take 6-12 months to dry out.
Do I need any follow-up work after damp proofing?
After the damp proofing process, your walls will start to dry. However, this can result in natural salt crystallisation and residual dampness on the surface. To prevent the surface plaster from deteriorating and the appearance of damp, an application of a salt-blocking solution is recommended, which we are happy to assist with and discuss during your assessment.
Will I have to vacate my property during the work?
Certainly not. DampBlock™ is non-hazardous and completely odourless, allowing you and your family to stay at home while we work..
Will the project create a lot of mess?
Minimal disruption is one of our aims. We inject our DampBlock™ through small holes in the walls, minimising dust and mess. You can continue with your regular home life while the work is being carried out.
