Damp Treatment FAQs

The damp treatment you require will depend on which type of damp is affecting your property. A faulty damp proof course will require a different approach to damp caused by a condensation problem, for example.

Our team can carry out a damp survey of your home in order to determine the cause of damp in your property and prescribe an effective damp treatment to prevent it. Call us to book a damp survey at a convenient time and date on 01202 737739.

Some damp problems are easier to identify than others. Here are some common indicators that you have a damp problem in your property:

• A damp, musty odour – usually localised
• Peeling / blistering plaster
• Mould growth
• Tide marks on interior wall
• Damp patches
• Decayed skirting boards

Yes, we always recommend that any effected walls are replastered following rising damp treatment due to hygroscopic salts from groundwater becoming trapped within the existing plaster.

These hygroscopic salts absorb water directly from the air, which can mean your damp problem persists even with a fully operation damp proof course. We can carry out all necessary replastering work quickly and professionally.
