Rising Damp, Mapperley, Nottingham

Our team was recently contacted by a purchaser of a property in Mapperley, Nottingham, who required a PCA damp and timber inspection after noticing signs of damp affecting several internal walls. Following a comprehensive property survey carried out by one of our qualified surveyors, we identified rising damp in several areas of the property and recommended a complete damp proofing solution to permanently resolve the issue.

As with every project, we began by carefully removing all contaminated plaster back to the appropriate height to eliminate salt-contaminated materials and prepare the walls for treatment. During the inspection, we also found that the external ground level was too high, allowing moisture to penetrate through the masonry. To overcome this issue, we carried out professional tanking works to provide additional waterproof protection where required.

Once the preparation work was complete, we installed a new chemical damp proof course (DPC) using a specialist injection system designed to create a long-lasting barrier against rising moisture. Following the installation of the damp proof course, the treated walls were re-rendered using the correct damp-resistant render system before receiving a smooth skim coat, leaving the walls ready for decoration..

This rising damp treatment project in Mapperley, Nottingham was completed efficiently and to a high professional standard, restoring the affected areas and giving the homeowner complete confidence that the issue had been resolved. All of our damp proofing works were completed with the backing of a 10-year guarantee, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
