Damp Proofing

A large number of property owners across the UK deal with damp problems every year, but not to worry we are here to help.

Damp is caused by the build-up of excess moisture within a building, from either internal condensation or intrusion from the exterior of the property. Damp problems can also appear rapidly following a heavy downpour or it can slowly due to leaky guttering, damaged roof tiles or lead flashing. The only time you may become aware of a damp problem is when you find a damp patch on your wall – often in the plaster.

Our damp proofing specialists will assess and correctly diagnose the extent and type of dampness then provide recommendations on specific damp proof treatments for the most effective ways to treat your specific damp problem.

Understanding Damp Problems

Problems with damp in a building may be related to a variety of reasons. This may be due to poor build quality, lack of building maintenance or the deterioration of building fabric, with dampness often relating to one of three main issues.

Damp Treatment

Rentokil Certificated Surveyors in Remedial Treatment and PCA accredited technicians know how to effectively treat damp problems in your property using innovative damp treatment methods. we offer the following solutions to your damp problems:

Rising Damp

Rising damp occurs as water rises up mortar & masonry from the ground, or through solid floors if the damp proof membrane is damaged. Our rising damp treatments have a 30-year guarantee.

Penetrating Damp

Penetrating Damp can occur if water enters a property via damaged rainwater goods, leaking pipes, cracked render, or earth retaining walls from the outside of the building.

Condensation

Condensation is the consequence of high levels of humid air being trapped within a building. This causes damp patches on walls & water droplets on windows, which can lead to mould.

Damp Problems in the Home

There is risk of damage caused by damp throughout an entire household. This is mainly due to a lack of preventative measures taken when the building was first built. Moisture is the primary reason that any damp problems in houses may occur, meaning that there are protective services, procedures and processes needed to prevent any sort of moisture passing through the walls, ceilings or floors of your property. These are not the only areas prone to damp in your home, chimney damp problems and basement damp problems are both serious issues which can in fact affect the structure of a building.

Unused and neglected basements often have damp problems caused by either penetrating damp or rising damp. Our property care experts are at your disposal when it comes to treating damp walls and floors in your basement. All of our technicians are PCA accredited giving them the skills to create livable spaces underneath your home; fully prepared for modern living.

We instructed rentokill to provide us with damp proofing service. They were very thorough and provided us with an honest account if what needed to be done; we had received quotes from elsewhere instructing us to have more damp proofing than was actually required. Mark our builder came on time and finished the job efficiently. He was a friendly man with great integrity in his work. I would highly recommend rentokill!

Rentokil sorted out my dry rot problem with the minimum of fuss and disruption. I found the whole team from Amarjit on the front line customer surveying through to Paula and Bev on the back room staff/telephone back up very easy to deal with. The workmen were very courteous and cleaned up very well after each work day. Would recommend to anyone
