What is rising damp?

Rising damp is when moisture rises up from the ground in a capillary action through the pores of the bricks. Moisture can continue to rise until it reaches a height where, unless no evaporation is possible, gravity takes over and it stops. A damp course, fitted to every new property since 1875, is essentially a damp proof membrane or waterproof barrier built into the walls to prevent the problem.

We do not use chemicals

Most people are unaware that a chemical injection damp course is not the only method available to combat rising damp in your home. If you live in an older property, then the chances are that it already had one and failed as they all seem to do.

Don’t be fooled into trying the same method again with offers of cheap prices and long guarantees. 99% of the properties Damp King, damp proofing and Building has treated, had some form of chemical, usually more than once by various companies. We use a solid plastic membrane damp course as used in all new construction. We will either use special cutting equipment or remove courses of bricks to install your new damp course.

The material used is a PVC strip which forms a barrier to stop moisture from passing up into the building. Old buildings can be given the same standard of protection from damp as new ones, so don’t settle for less.
