What Causes Damp?
Rising, Penetrating and Condensation Damp Explained
We deal with three main types of damp and each needs a different fix. That’s why we always identify the cause first not just treat the symptoms.
Rising Damp
Caused by a failed or missing damp proof course. Affects ground floor walls and needs chemical DPC and replastering.
Penetrating Damp
Comes from outside defects like leaking gutters or porous brickwork. External repairs and water-repellent treatments are usually needed.
Condensation
Caused by poor ventilation and warm air hitting cold surfaces. Managed through airflow improvements or, in some cases, pressure systems.
What to Expect
Clear Diagnosis and Straightforward Treatment Plans
We’ll visit to assess the affected area, take moisture readings if needed and explain exactly what’s going on. You won’t get a full written report unless you require one, just honest feedback and a plan.
If work is needed, we’ll recommend the right fix based on the cause. That could be a chemical DPC, external repairs, ventilation improvements or applying a breathable barrier.
You’ll get a clear quote and realistic advice with no pressure to decide on the spot.
