Water Damage Services

Rising Dampness can develop within walls due several factors however this is often because of an ineffective damp proof course or the omission of damp proofing during construction. Rising dampness may be found during a Building Survey, by tests carried out to the base of the walls, however in more severe cases of prolonged dampness, visible damp patches may appear, along with hygroscopic salts of the surfaces. Effective treatment requires can involve the removal of the wall plaster to approximately one metre or higher (depending on the salts within the masonry and several other factors) along with the installation of a new damp proof course.

The height of the necessary plastering will be individually specified on your quotation once our surveyor has carried out an inspection of your property.
