Our Reliable Damp Solutions

We provide the most reliable damp services to solve issues with water damage and mould.

An Inspection and Damp Survey

The appointment begins with a full assessment to help us gauge the severity of the problem. We use the following methods:

  • Visual inspection: We check cavity walls and other vulnerable locations for water damage, mould, and other common visible signs.
  • Moisture meters: These tools measure a circuit’s electrical resistance. If you have a hidden damp problem that affects your wiring, we’ll find it.
  • Heat imaging: Moisture causes temperature changes that infrared cameras easily detect.
  • Chemical sampling: We combine special chemicals with a wall sample to produce a type of gas. The greater the reaction, the higher the moisture concentration.
  • Other tools: We measure the humidity and airflow in the building to help determine how your environment may be exacerbating the problem.

In some cases, we may remove wet and dry rot from the building. However, containment usually provides the best and least invasive solution. We’ll inject a chemical solution into the affected area, which prevents the problem from spreading or causing health complications.

After the rising damp specialist addresses the issue, they’ll leave your property looking as it did before the project. Depending on the extent of the damage and the methods used to contain it, this may include patching walls or masonry to make everything look new.

Many treatment solutions also improve prevention. The chemical damp proof courses we inject contain the problem to prevent it from coming back. Plastic or foam barriers are also a popular solution.

The Benefits of Rising Damp Tanking Solutions

Our tanking solutions contain the moisture. They create a better indoor environment and provide the following benefits.

Too much moisture is one of the worst complications a property can experience. It creates health problems, damages structure and belongings, and ruins the appearance.

Our inspection uncovers the most vulnerable areas in the home and anything that makes it worse, like poor ventilation or drainage issues. Partnering with us prevents further problems that could cause widespread damage and put your financial security at risk.

Rising damp can start threatening a foundation’s stability after only a few days. However, it often takes weeks or months to see visible signs on your walls. By scheduling prompt service that also prevents future issues, you make a long-term investment in protecting your home.

Mould and water damage negatively impact your property value. Interested parties will have to invest considerable money to address such issues.

You’ll either be forced to take a much lower offer than you were hoping for or have trouble finding a buyer at all. Low property value also affects surrounding homes, potentially threatening your relationship with neighbours.

By dealing with the issue, you protect your property value. You’ll still have to disclose that you had the problem, but you can name us as the professionals who fixed it. Our reputation should give any potential buyer peace of mind.

We focus on tanking solutions because the solutions and protection they provide have many uses. We apply them on any surface type, from masonry to drywall. It has the following benefits:

  • Reaches areas of the property with low accessibility
  • Requires less time
  • Allows for unique solutions compared to removing and repairing the wall section

Property Care Tips for Preventing Moisture Problems

Our damp-proofing treatments go a long way towards preventing future moisture problems. Caring for your property can help avoid the issue altogether.

Poor drainage is a common cause of moisture problems for homes and businesses. When gutters and downspouts clog, the water redirects into the foundation and settles into the walls and floors.

Upgrade your gutters when they grow old and repair them quickly. Clean them whenever you see them overflowing or filled with debris.

Proper airflow keeps humidity levels low and can help dry the water in the walls before it can form mould. Our rising damp specialists know about poor vent placement. It leaves a home vulnerable to long-term problems.

Consider the following solutions:

  • Open windows during good weather.
  • Install a whole-home dehumidifier.
  • Buy ceiling fans and run them often.
  • Keep your HVAC system free of clogs and dust.

Some cracks in a basement won’t threaten the home’s safety. However, they can allow a lot of water into the walls.

Occasionally, walk around the yard and note any damage to the cement walls at their base. Check both inside and outside. Consider using caulk or plaster to give water no pathway to enter.

Soil erosion harms a property’s resistance to water and alters its flow when it rains. Some features control the problem. These include trees and retaining walls.

Therefore, upgrading your garden is yet another answer to the question, “How can you avoid issues with rising damp?”

Water problems advance rapidly. An annual inspection by certified professionals goes a long way towards addressing weaknesses.

Our technology can detect early signs of mould growth. You should also have professionals inspect your plumbing to avoid a burst pipe.

RB Waterproofing really know their stuff when it comes to rising damp. They explained the problem clearly and didn’t try to upsell anything we didn’t need. After treatment, the walls are dry, and there’s no sign of damp returning. Top job!
