If you see bubbling paint, blistering plaster and a “white powdery” substance (efflorescence / hygroscopic salt deposits) showing on your walls, then contact us for a comprehensive assessment with our electronic moisture meter

Rising damp is excessive dampness at the base of a wall caused by ground moisture, rising through the bricks and mortar via capillary action. Rising Damp occurs when the DPC (Damp Proof Course) is defective, absent, bridged or incorrectly installed.

Lateral damp only occurs where there is a change in ground / floor levels. As such, moisture migrates laterally through the wall beneath the horizontal DPC causing the paint to peel and plaster to blister.

This type of damp commonly occurs when there is water ingress from roof leaks, plaster cracks, window sills, parapets to name a few.

Dampcon® will comprehensively assess your property with the aim of addressing all the causes of your damp walls.
