What It Is:

Dampproofing is a protective coating applied to the exterior of foundation walls and basement walls below ground level. Lateral rising damp is moisture that travels upwards through walls due to capillary action. We offer solutions for both to prevent water penetration and structural damage.

When You Need It:

• You notice dampness, mold growth, or peeling paint on your interior walls, especially on ground floors.
• There are visible cracks in your foundation walls.
• You’re experiencing a musty odor in your basement or crawlspace.
• You’re building a new structure and want to prevent future damp problems.

Benefits:

• Creates a barrier against moisture penetration from the ground.
• Prevents structural damage caused by dampness and water.
• Reduces the risk of mold growth and improves indoor air quality.
• Protects your property from costly repairs in the future.

Features:

• We use high-quality dampproofing materials specifically designed for below-ground applications.
• We address any existing cracks or defects in your foundation walls before applying the dampproofing membrane.
• For lateral rising damp, we may recommend additional solutions like a chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection.
