Rising damp can damage walls, plaster, flooring and timber if left untreated. Our experienced team deliver effective damp treatment and DPC installation to protect your property.

What Is Rising Damp?

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through brickwork and plaster by capillary action. This moisture carries salts that can contaminate walls, leaving damp patches, tide marks and crumbling plaster. Without rising damp treatment, the issue spreads and weakens structural materials. Our surveyors accurately diagnose rising damp and recommend the best damp proofing method.


Signs of Rising Damp

Common signs that your property may have rising damp include:

  • Tide marks or brown staining on walls.
  • Fluffy white salt deposits on plaster.
  • Damp smells and cold, wet walls.
  • Peeling wallpaper and bubbling paint.
  • Decayed skirting boards or timber.

If you notice any of these symptoms, our damp proofing specialists can carry out a full survey and recommend treatment.
