Video Guide

Understanding Damp & Waterproofing

Rising damp is a common problem in properties, but understanding how it behaves is the first step to a permanent cure. When a protective damp proof course (DPC) is absent or bridged, capillary action pulls moisture from the soil straight into your walls.

Watch this video guide to see how moisture travels through masonry pores, the telltale warning signs, and how professional chemical cream injection methods create an impenetrable dry barrier inside the mortar line.

Be Aware

Telltale Signs of Damp Problems

Catching damp early saves thousands in repair bills. Look out for these four common warning signs in your home or commercial property.

Plaster damage caused by damp

Crumbling Plaster

Soluble salts carried by rising damp crystallize inside plaster, causing it to lose its bond, bubble, and crumble away.

Mold growth from damp

Black Mould Growth

Fungal spores thrive in moist environments, leading to unsightly black mould patches and releasing airborne toxins.

Brick damage and spalling

Brickwork Spalling

Moisture penetration breaks down the external brick face, leading to structural cracking and crumbling mortar lines.

Wet rot in wood skirting

Wood & Skirting Rot

Damp walls in contact with timber cause wet rot, making wooden floors, structures, and skirting boards decay.

Identification

How do you identify rising damp?

Rising damp on walls is the common term for the slow upward movement of water in the lower sections of walls. The effect of rising damp can easily be seen by simply placing a brick in a shallow tray of water and observe how the water is absorbed and transported above the water line.

Rising damp can be identified by tide marks on the lower section of the affected damp walls. These tide marks are caused by soluble salts (particularly nitrates and chlorides) contained in the groundwater.

Education

What is damp proofing?
