Damp Proofing & Property Care in Maidenhead
Maidenhead combines Victorian and Edwardian homes around the town centre and Boyn Hill, 1930s and post-war housing in Furze Platt and Cox Green, and larger riverside properties along the Thames. Older solid-wall homes are prone to rising and penetrating damp, while properties close to the river can be affected by high groundwater.
Maidenhead's older homes, including Victorian and Edwardian houses near the centre, often have solid walls with original damp courses that have failed or been bridged by raised paths and patios. A survey checks readings on the ground-floor walls, the airbricks and the outside ground levels before any treatment is recommended.
Properties close to the Thames can have high groundwater, and cellars and lower ground floors are the most exposed. Where water is entering below ground, drainage or a pump system may be a better answer than tanking alone, and the survey explains which fits the property.
