Penetrating Damp Solutions

Penetrating damp occurs when water penetrates through the external fabric of a building, causing damage to internal walls and ceilings. Our comprehensive penetrating damp solutions address the root causes of water ingress, providing effective, long-lasting protection for your property.

Our Penetrating Damp Treatment Process

1. Comprehensive External Inspection

We conduct a thorough examination of your property's exterior to identify potential entry points for water, including damaged roofing, defective guttering, cracked rendering, deteriorated pointing, and porous brickwork.

2. Gutter and Downpipe Repairs

We repair or replace damaged guttering and downpipes to ensure proper water drainage away from your property, preventing water from overflowing and penetrating external walls during rainfall.

3. Masonry Repairs and Repointing

Our specialists repair damaged brickwork and repoint deteriorated mortar joints using appropriate materials that match your property's existing appearance while providing enhanced water resistance.

4. External Wall Treatments

We apply specialized water-repellent treatments to external walls that allow the masonry to breathe while preventing water penetration, providing long-lasting protection against penetrating damp.

5. Internal Remedial Work

Once the external issues are resolved, we address the internal damage caused by penetrating damp, including removing damaged plaster, applying specialist damp-resistant treatments, and replastering with appropriate materials to restore your walls to their original condition.
