Damp Proofing Specialists County Offaly
Are you dealing with a damp problem in your home? Perhaps you have noticed an unpleasant smell, mould growth, or dark patches forming in the corners of your rooms? Whatever the issue, we are here to help.
Types of Damp
- Rising Damp: Typically travels upward from the ground, often indicating a damaged DPC or outside ground levels that are too high around the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture that originates from outside and finds its way through to the interior of the building
- Condensation Damp: Excess humidity in rooms such as bathrooms or bedrooms where there is insufficient ventilation to allow moisture to escape
Damp proofing identifies and resolves moisture problems within walls. Our work encompasses rising damp treatment through chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by defective walls or deteriorating pointing, as well as condensation and mould control.
Where rising damp is the concern, reducing the outside ground level can make a considerable difference, as it should sit a minimum of 150mm below the interior floor level. In situations where this is not achievable, we recommend the installation of land drainage, French gravel drains, and tanking to the lower section of the exterior wall.
Treatment will generally involve installing the DPC, hacking off existing plaster and re-plastering using salt retardant render, and resolving the underlying source of the damp.
Alongside our damp proofing services in County Offaly, we also provide brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and a range of additional services.
