We offer a complete service for all your damp requirements. Our free damp surveys are carried out by skilled surveyors and technicians. After the consultation, you will be given a detailed damp proofing report which will clearly show any work that needs to be completed along with a no-obligation quote.

Damp2Dry use a method of damp that ensures 100% of moisture/ liquid cannot pass through any walls in contact with the ground. This means we stop the permeation of moisture into the interior of your property through various damp treatment methods.

Damp has many ways to enter a building but we have various methods and technologies to thwart its progress. There is not just one solution for damp as it has many different causes within homes and businesses, such as rising damp, penetrating damp or through bad ventilation leading to condensation problems.

The benefits of Using Damp2Dry’s Damp Proof Solutions:

  • Minimal or no noticeable smell
  • Safe for application
  • No need for costly equipment
  • Delivers optimal results
  • Trusted by professionals
  • Fast and straightforward installation

Leaving damp untreated can lead to significant health risks for you and your family. Issues such as mould, wet rot, and dry rot can release black or green spores into the air, which are hazardous when inhaled—especially for individuals with asthma. The increased moisture and condensation associated with damp can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms.

How to spot rising damp early:

  • Look out for these common signs of damp:
  • Tidemarks or stains on walls above the skirting boards, up to about three feet high
  • Salt deposits appearing on the wall
  • Plaster or paint peeling or falling off
  • Damp patches that appear and disappear
  • Black mould growing on the walls
  • Walls that feel cold or damp to the touch

If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Damp2Dry right away. Ignoring damp issues can lead to significant structural damage and may also pose serious health risks.

The different types of damp can all be prevented by a course of damp proofing.

If your property lacks a damp proof course (DPC) or if the existing DPC is damaged, moisture from the ground can seep up into your walls. This process, known as water ingress, is a leading cause of damp problems in buildings. Water ingress can result in serious issues such as wet rot. Unlike rising damp, water ingress is a type of penetrating damp that usually affects a specific area. Once the source of the water ingress is identified and addressed, the problem is typically resolved.
