Our Approach to TREATING YOUR RISING DAMP ISSUES

Rising damp is a relatively rare form of damp that affects the walls of buildings. It occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through the walls by capillary action. This means that groundwater is effectively sucked up through tiny tubes in the bricks, like a series of straws. This water contains salts that also travel up through the wall.

Whatever rising damp treatment may be required, you can be assured that it will carry the benefits of our ten-year rising damp guarantee. This provides the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing that should something go wrong with our treatment and you notice rising damp has begun to re-appear in your home, then we will be there to put it right.

It doesn’t matter the part of the country you are in, the topography of your location, or the water table level of your facility, we will apply the right technology and manpower to ensure that all factors are considered in totally fixing the damp issue is duly considered and used.
