Damp Problems We Solve in Birmingham

Older properties can experience damp for several reasons, including defects in existing damp proofing, leaking gutters, damaged pointing and poor ventilation. A thorough inspection helps establish the cause before treatment is recommended. We deal with:

  • Rising damp, where groundwater travels up through walls
  • Penetrating damp from leaks, defective gutters or failed pointing
  • Condensation and mould, including ventilation advice
  • Damp in cellars and basements
  • Woodworm treatment and timber preservation

Rising Damp Treatment in Birmingham

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through a wall. It can occur where a damp proof course is absent, defective or bridged, allowing moisture to bypass the barrier. Possible signs include:

  • Peeling paint and wallpaper
  • Crumbling plaster and salt deposits
  • Tide marks or damp patches on the lower sections of walls

These symptoms can also have other causes, so they should not be used alone to diagnose rising damp. Following an inspection, we explain the findings and recommend appropriate work, which may include a damp proof course and specialist replastering where required.

Damp Proofing FAQs

How much does damp proofing cost?
It depends on the cause, the area affected and the type of wall. After a survey we give you a clear, itemised written quotation for the recommended work. Quotations are free.
How do I know if I have rising damp?
Look for tide marks on lower walls, damaged plaster, salt deposits and peeling decoration. These signs do not confirm rising damp on their own, as leaks and other moisture problems can cause similar damage. A thorough inspection is needed to establish the cause.
Can I fix damp myself?
Simple maintenance, such as repairing a leaking gutter or improving ventilation, can help with some damp problems. However, damp-proof paint or fresh plaster will not resolve an underlying moisture problem. If the cause is unclear or the damp keeps returning, arrange a professional inspection before spending money on treatment.
