Damp is one the most common causes of wall deterioration, significantly impacting the strength of a property. Below are some causes of wall damp in buildings:
Damp patches are often the result of a building defect, and if you have more than one damp patch in your home, it’s likely that you have an issue with the construction. These cracks ordefects may lead directly to rainwater ingress and windblown rain, or provide a path for ground-borne moisture to enter. To identify and fix the structural defects causing the problem, you will need to hire qualified waterproofing or damp proofing services for a damp treatment.
Plumbing issues are the most common cause of damp. The most obvious signs are wet patches and bubbling painting, but if you want to be certain, look for a leak in your plumbing. Check both interior and external pipes and fixtures, and if you find anything suspicious, get it checked by a professional waterproofing or damp proofing expert as soon as possible for a damp treatment.
It’s almost certain that a lot of cases of water ingress or dampness in building surfaces can be traced to a fault in the guttering system. Gutters are positioned above the wall head and repair brickwork or sandstone, so they are vulnerable to these materials rotting or crumbling with age. The joints between sections of guttering can leak and water can seep down the building surfaces causing damp marks on internal walls and possibly some damage to the plaster.

A damp problem is not something to be ignored. It should be investigated and treated as soon as it manifests itself, otherwise, it could weaken the structure of your wall, causing further damage and potentially costing you a lot of money to put right. Different types of building surfaces have different reactions to the wetness, which vary from rising damp through penetration damp to salt contamination. Below are some explanations of what each type is, what causes them and what kind of damp treatment to apply.
Rising damp is a major problem that can strike in older buildings and is generally caused by the absence of a physical damp proof course in the lower section of a property’s walls. Most types of masonry used in the wall of older structures will allow some water movement by capillary action thereby contaminating salts to the wall; however, this is usually controlled by a physical barrier or damp proof course.
These older buildings were constructed without modern damp proofing methods and therefore rising damp can become a serious issue, particularly during periods of heavy rain.
Rising damp will generally cause problems from the ground level upwards, affecting wallpaper and potentially causing structural damage to floors and skirting boards. Rising damp can only be cured by the installation of a new chemical damp proof course.
Penetrating damp occurs when water enters the wall due to a build-up of hydrostatic pressure within the ground on the outside of the wall, or due to a lack of rainwater goods (gutters and downpipes) which direct rainwater away from building surfaces. Once inside, the water spreads through porous construction materials such as stone, brick or concrete.
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air touches a cold surface causing liquid water droplets to form. Condensation commonly forms on windows and mirrors, on the underside of exposed timber flooring or on concrete surface or floors. This can happen on both the inside and outside of your rooms. Although condensation is technically water, it can lead to a buildup of damp and moulds in your room which can be harmful to your health.

Nobody wants their house to fall down because of damp and moulds in the building surfaces. As we all know, damp and water can do untold damage to our homes. Building surfaces quickly become a safe haven for black moulds and all manner of unwanted pests or dry rot. Below are some good reasons for waterproofing or damp proofing your external walls.
Just like the interior walls of your home, external walls need to get a proper damp treatment to provide a good level of protection against damp and damp-associated problems like dry rot, wet rot etc. Damp proofing or waterproofing of external walls is a really vital part of home maintenance for the most obvious reasons: to stop damp and mould. Mould can grow and spread on cold building surfaces and condensation from leaking will run down the wall.
The exterior walls are exposed to direct contact with the elements. This makes them particularly susceptible to external forces that could damage your house. If these building surfaces are damaged, your house will start to deteriorate at a faster rate. That is why it is critical to get waterproofing or damp proofing services to protect your home exterior walls. Call us today for a damp proof survey and subsequent replastering of your building’s surfsce.
Allergens and unhealthy debris can cause many health problems. One of the ways you can protect your family is by having waterproofing or damp proofing installed on the outer walls of your home. It also prevents the growth of mould where there is a damp problem. This can save you money and also be good for your health.
The external wall damp proofing or waterproofing will prevent water from penetrating into your house. This will help you to avoid several expensive repairs that you eventually might have to bear in the near future because water is coming through the building surface.

Prolonged exposure to moisture results in moisture-saturated drywall causing damp in your home. The first sign is of damp is the appearance of black mould spots on the wall surfaces. These spots grow into huge patches if left unattended. Wall replastering prevents damp by removing the moisture-affected patches and replacing them with newly plastered building surface. It helps in the long term prevention of wet rot, dry rot, condensation and moisture penetration through the building surface, since they will be newly plastered and coated with anti-fungus paint.

We follow the BSI standards for plastering and re-plastering specifications. This helps us ensure that there are no hidden damp patches.
Here is the process that we follow:
Remove the affected plaster to a depth of at least 10cm (4″) so that all defective mortar is removed, including any re-pointing to brickwork as appropriate.
As soon as we complete the plastering process, we apply a primer before painting and hence smoothen the wall. A final two coats of paint follow this process. Once our damp proofing professionals are through with the treatment, we’ll check back in with you to make sure everything meets your satisfaction.
