Damp Proofing Specialists Clatterbridge
Are you dealing with damp issues in your property? Perhaps you’ve caught a musty odour lingering in certain rooms? Spotted mould creeping across your walls or dark patches forming in the corners? We’re here to help sort it out.
Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: This climbs upwards from ground level, typically pointing to a compromised DPC or where outside ground levels sit too high against your property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture that breaches from the outside, working its way through your external walls into your living spaces
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity building up in spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms where there’s insufficient ventilation to allow moisture to escape
Damp proofing involves identifying and remedying moisture problems within your walls. Our work addresses rising damp through fresh chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp stemming from faulty walls or deteriorating pointing, plus condensation and mould management.
When you’re facing rising damp, reducing the outside ground level often makes a substantial difference, as it should sit at least 150mm beneath your internal floor level. Where this isn’t achievable, we’d recommend installing land drainage systems, French gravel drains and applying tanking protection to the lower exterior wall sections.
Treatment usually involves fitting the DPC, removing affected plaster and re-rendering with salt-retardant materials, whilst tackling whatever’s causing the damp in the first place.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Clatterbridge, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and additional services.
