Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp through certified cavity membrane systems. We conduct thorough moisture profiling using electronic meters and hygrometers to identify root causes. Treatments include installing physical barriers between damp surfaces and new finishes, ensuring long-term dryness while allowing walls to breathe. This service prevents structural deterioration and health risks from mould.
Basement Waterproofing
Basement waterproofing employs cavity drain membrane systems to combat hydrostatic pressure and penetrating damp. We design bespoke solutions compliant with BS8102 standards, incorporating drainage channels and sump pumps where necessary. Our systems transform damp basements into habitable spaces while maintaining structural integrity and preventing future moisture ingress.
Condensation Control
Condensation control involves diagnosing humidity levels using hygrometers and implementing ventilation systems. We install extractor units, positive-pressure ventilation, or heat-recovery systems to manage moisture-laden air. This service eliminates mould growth, improves indoor air quality, and prevents long-term structural damage through targeted airflow management.
Rising Damp Treatment
Rising damp treatment includes installing approved damp-proof courses and cavity membranes. We address bridging issues and salt contamination, using breathable materials to prevent recurrence. Our methods exceed traditional approaches by avoiding unreliable limelite plasters, ensuring durable solutions with minimal disruption to property owners.
Cavity Membrane Systems
Cavity membrane systems provide waterproofing for basements and walls by creating physical barriers against moisture. We line surfaces with studded membranes that channel water to drainage systems, allowing dry lining or plastering. This method effectively manages hydrostatic pressure and ensures habitable, moisture-free environments in challenging below-ground structures.
