Penetrating damp treatment

Penetrating damp treatment begins with identifying and correcting the defect in the building that is allowing water ingress to penetrate. When trying to identify the source of the penetrating damp issue, consider the following:

• Do you have any leaking gutters/downpipes?
• Do you have ageing porous brickwork?
• Is there defective pointing?
• Do you have Inadequate drip grooves under window sills?
• Do you have defective seals around doors and windows?
• Are you aware of any defective plumbing?

Once the source of the penetrating damp has been addressed, consideration regarding penetrating damp treatment can begin.  

For minor cases of penetrating damp: this can be identified and treated through the application of some DIY measures. You can find out more by visiting our web page on stop penetrating damp - DIY tips.

For more serious cases of penetrating damp: along with the replacement of the plasterwork, it may be discovered that the penetrating damp has caused wet rot or dry rot and potentially harmful black mould. In addition, if the dampness has been caused by bridging through the wall insulation, we have professional solutions to deal with that. 

The above is something you want to repair before going any further. There is no point with starting the decorative work within the property if it is simply going to be affected by continuing damp problems.
