Recognising Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when groundwater moves up through walls via capillary action. Here are the tell-tale signs:
Tide Marks
Horizontal staining on walls, typically up to 1 metre high with a distinctive tide-like appearance
Damp Patches
Persistent moisture on internal walls, even during dry weather, concentrated at lower levels
Damaged Skirting
Rotting or peeling skirting boards, paint blistering, and wallpaper lifting near floor level
Salt Deposits
White, fluffy salt crystals (efflorescence) appearing on wall surfaces and plaster deterioration
Musty Odours
Persistent damp smell in affected rooms, particularly noticeable in enclosed spaces
Decaying Plaster
Crumbling or bubbling plaster at the base of walls, often with discoloration
Our Treatment Process
Professional, proven methodology with guaranteed results
Professional Survey
Comprehensive damp survey using electronic moisture meters and calcium carbide testing to accurately diagnose rising damp and assess the extent of damage.
Chemical DPC Injection
High-pressure injection of chemical damp proof course into the mortar bed, creating a new barrier to prevent moisture rising through the wall structure.
Salt Contamination Removal
Removal of salt-contaminated plaster (typically to 1 metre high) to prevent hygroscopic salts from drawing moisture back into the wall.
Replastering & Finishing
Application of salt-resistant render and finishing plaster, ensuring walls are ready for decoration with long-term protection guaranteed.
