Damp proofing is the protective process that prevents moisture passing up masonry or through walls that are in contact with the ground or floor. There are many different causes of damp within properties including rising damp, lateral and rain penetrating damp, or through condensation problems.

In order to provide a long term damp proofing solution, a trained and qualified professional must first provide a damp and timber survey to investigate the problem. The treatment process will differ depending on the type of damp.

Often damp problems are complex and require a detailed investigation, backed by physical readings including humidity and temperature, photographic evidence and thermal imaging analysis.

Once you have received your detailed survey report, containing the surveyor findings and any recommendations for work, our trained technicians will undertake the required works with careful attention to the make-up of the building.
