Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Generally rises from the group up, normally indicative of damaged DPC, or outside levels too high around the house
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture coming from the outside and finding a way inside
- Condensation Damp: Too much humidity such as a bathroom or bedroom with no clear way to ventilate the moisture out of the room
Damp proofing diagnoses and treats damp in walls. Work covers rising damp via a new chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp from defective walls or pointing, and condensation and mould control.
If it’s rising damp, lowering the outside level can help significantly as well, since it should be at least 150mm below the interior flooring. In certain cases where that is not possible, insertion of land drainage, french gravel drains and wrapping the lower end of the exterior wall is recommended (tanking).
Treatment typically includes installing the DPC, hacking off and re-plastering with salt-retardant render, and addressing the source of the damp.
Along with our damp proofing services in Newbridge, we offer options for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
