There are many types of damp, all of which are detrimental to your property and its content. A professional damp proofing specialist like Derwent Damp Proofing offer not only means of preventing damp but also the services to put right damage caused by damp.
A damp proof course protects your property from moisture rising from the ground. This excess moisture can effect plaster, wallpaper, soft furnishings and decorations.
Moisture travels up through a wall by something knows as capillary action. Capillary action (also known as wicking) is when water is drawn upward through small channels. This allows moisture to pass into the porous walls, paving way to damage.
Excess moisture in a property can result in wet rot, or dry rot which effects unprotected wooden timbers. To prevent this, all properties should have an effective damp proofing cause installed by a qualified damp proofing specialist.
Both a damp proofing course and a damp proofing membrane protect your property from damp but in different ways. A damp proofing course is built into the masonry and provides a barrier between the ground and the wall and timber. A damp proofing membrane normally covers a wider area and takes the form of a polythene sheet laid over a concreate base. It prevents moisture from rising through the concreate and into the masonry.
Like a damp proofing course, a damp proofing membrane should be installed by a qualified damp proofing specialist.
These guys carried out damp proofing to cure the rising damp in my living room and hall way. I highly recommend Derwent Damp Proofing, they were very good value, professional, friendly, very tidy, honest and did a fantastic job. Thanks so much.
Reliable and efficient team, worked hard to get our job done in good time. The fellas were polite and courteous throughout. Certainly appears to be a good job and the plaster has painted over well. Many thanks.
