Damp Proofing Specialists Bridge Trafford
Are you dealing with a damp problem in your property? Perhaps you’ve detected an unpleasant odour? Maybe you’ve spotted mould or dark patches appearing in the corners? We’re here to help!
Different types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically rises upwards from ground level, usually indicating a compromised DPC or external ground levels that are too elevated around the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture penetrating from outside and making its way through to the interior
- Condensation Damp: Excessive humidity in areas such as bathrooms or bedrooms where there’s insufficient ventilation to allow moisture to escape
Damp proofing identifies and resolves damp issues within walls. Our work addresses rising damp through fresh chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by faulty walls or pointing, plus condensation and mould management.
When dealing with rising damp, reducing the outside ground level can make a substantial difference, as it should sit at least 150mm beneath the internal floor level. In situations where this isn’t achievable, installing land drainage systems, french gravel drains and applying external wall tanking to the lower sections is advisable.
Treatment usually involves fitting the DPC, removing affected plaster and re plastering using salt retardant render, alongside tackling the root cause of the damp.
Together with our damp proofing services in Bridge Trafford, we provide solutions for brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and more.
