Damp Proofing Treatments – Rising Damp

Rising Damp

A regular damp proofing issue is rising damp. 

Rising damp normally occurs at the ground floor level. It can be caused by the damp proof course not being installed or the breakdown of the damp proof course system which results in a capillary action causing damp patches. The symptoms of rising damp can be seen in wallpaper staining and discolouration.

We will survey your property.

Within 24 hours we will contact and advise you of the cause and the recommended solution.

Additionally, following our damp proofing survey, a report, quotation and plan will be supplied. 

This is often required by lenders for mortgage purposes.

 The damp proofing work involves:

1. Removal of Skirting, radiators, damp plaster
2. Drilling and Injecting of the Damp wall with Tri Gel Cream
3. Re-plastering with a waterproof plaster.


 A 30 Year Guarantee is available following this remedial work.

Damp Proofing Treatments – Penetrating Damp

 

Penetrating damp occurs at lower ground levels due to the high external levels and the Back to Earth nature. It can also occur where stone and brick walls face the weathering side in exposed locations. This makes the brick porous allowing penetrating damp to occur at both high and low levels as cavities are often bridged with either debris or in some instances cavity insulation.

 The work involves:
1. The removal of affected plasterwork
2. Lining the internal wall with Platon Plaster Membrane
3. Re-plastering onto the Membrane.

 10 Year Guarantees are available for this work.

We can carry out a damp proofing survey of your property usually within 24 hours. We will then advise you of the cause and the solutions to the problem.

 A Report, Quotation and Plan will be sent out which is often required by Lenders for Mortgage purposes.

Damp Proofing – Condensation and Mould Growth Treatments

Modern living with double glazing and well-sealed properties is in some cases now causing problems. 

High levels of moisture are held in the warm air during the daytime when the central heating is on, but during the night when the heating is off and temperatures drop, creating condensation.

Condensation occurs, usually on outside walls and in areas with restricted airflow. Ventilation helps with this problem with either Air Bricks or electrical Humidity Extractor Fans which operate automatically.

Property Remedies Ltd can advise you on the best ways to cure your condensation and mould growth problems. 

We will prepare you a quotation for the damp proofing work.
