Damp walls: first we find the cause, then we fix

★★★★★ 5.0 · 212 five-star Google reviews

In our experience, about 90% of building damage is caused by water. A damp wall is not a cosmetic problem – it is a signal that water is getting into the structure. If it is just covered up or repainted, the damage keeps growing.

We find out where the water comes from, and only then tell you how it can be stopped for good.

Common causes

  • Failed damp-proofing under the walls
  • Leaking pipes, drains or gutters
  • Condensation and thermal bridges
  • Ground and rain water reaching the walls from outside

Often several causes act together – that is why we test rather than guess. Where needed we take drilled samples and have them analysed in a laboratory.
