Safeguard Damp Proofing | Rising Damp Treatment

Professional Rising Damp Solutions That Last

Rising damp is one of the most common and damaging forms of dampness found in buildings. It occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through walls via capillary action, bypassing a failed or missing damp proof course (DPC). This not only causes cosmetic damage but also contributes to poor indoor air quality and structural issues over time.

Signs of Rising Damp:

  • Tide marks or brown staining on walls

  • Peeling wallpaper or blistering paint

  • Crumbling plaster

  • Salt deposits (efflorescence)

  • Damp or musty smells, especially near ground level

Our Expert Rising Damp Treatment Process:

  1. Detailed Damp Survey – Using advanced diagnostic tools such as damp meters, thermal imaging, and hygrometers, we assess the severity of rising damp in your property.

  2. Installation of Damp Proof Course (DPC) – We inject a chemical DPC into the masonry to form a long-lasting barrier against ground moisture.

  3. Salt Contaminated Plaster Removal – Affected plaster is removed and replaced with a specially formulated salt-resistant plaster system.

  4. Replastering & Repainting – Once treated walls have dried, we carry out high-quality replastering and redecorating to restore your interior.
