Damp-proofing is the practice of stopping moisture from entering the walls and floors of a building. This is particularly pertinent for older constructions that are not equipped with a dampness control system. There are two varieties of dampness: rising damp and penetrating damp. Our specialists will identify the type of moisture problem in your property and treat it accordingly.
London Damp Treatments are the specialists to call for cellar tanking, basement waterproofing and damp proofing services. From small domestic restorations to large commercial projects such as car parks, tunnels and new constructions, we have experienced a variety of waterproofing and tanking methods. If you notice signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, timber issues like dry rot or wet rot in an underground area, rely on us for expert assistance.
Condensation is a prevalent cause of wetness in most homes, manifesting in all regions, but especially where water is used frequently. Warm, moist air hitting cold surfaces results in water droplets appearing on them.
Relatively minor plumbing leaks can be the source of large and serious damp patches – water loss may be small, but it usually happens repeatedly and is concentrated in the same spot. This area is soon unable to release more moisture than it consumes, and the surplus is spread to neighbouring areas because of the persistent, repetitive wetting.
Weak or defective mortar joints in exterior walls, sub-par stone windows, inadequate door and window sealing, and uncared for wooden doors and windows can all lead to indoor dampness.
Poor guttering may be the cause of dampness in your house or yard. When clogged with debris, filth, or dirt, the system can induce dampness.
Our damp proofing services can help prevent the development of rising damp, penetrating damp and mould. This can protect your health, particularly those with respiratory conditions. Our experienced damp proofers can waterproof basements and make damp problems a thing of the past.
Damp can wreak havoc on a building’s structural integrity. Exterior mortar could become weakened, leaving salt marks on the walls, while steel and iron fasteners quickly rust and corrode. In severe cases, the plaster and mortar may even flake off the wall. Additionally, humidity can cause secondary damage. Excess moisture encourages the growth of certain wood fungus, which can give rise to health issues and the so-called ‘sick building syndrome’.
Moreover, humidity encourages the deterioration of plaster and paint, and the peeling of wallpaper.

At London Damp Treatments, we offer a selection of damp proofing solutions which provide various benefits. Preventing moisture from infiltrating the building is the core purpose of each of these methods.
London Damp Treatments can install a chemical DPC system to control rising damp and the resulting salt contamination. The chemical is injected into the walls at regular intervals, replacing any contaminated plaster, and protecting the decorative surface from moisture.
The DPC will prevent humidity from rising further. Hygroscopic salts, drawn from the earth to the brickwork by moisture, will continue to attract water in high humidity. Re-plastering is necessary if the degree is unacceptable, and London Damp Treatments has expert plasterers on staff to offer quotations.
A Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) is a protective layer applied to a structure to prevent the ingress of moisture. This technique helps to safeguard buildings from water and moisture, including rain. The membrane is constructed from polyethene and is placed underneath a sheet of concrete – similar to shotcrete – to effectively manage moisture, whilst a cavity wall’s structure creates a gap between the inner and outer walls to repel water. Pressure grouting is also used for masonry walls to seal any gaps.
Our team can provide you with the choices available to damp-proof your property and make the most of your basement. Here are some of the strategies we use. Get in touch today to find out more.

Basement damp-proofing, or ‘tanking’ as it is commonly referred to, is a process that can be applied to any room. However, it is especially pertinent for walls, floors and underground structures that are in direct contact with the ground.
Cellars can often be damp and unhelpful for storage purposes, apart from a bottle of wine or a can of paint. To make the best use of your basement or cellar, it is essential to ensure it is kept dry. Applying a waterproof coating to the walls and floors of vaults, known as tanking, helps prevent dampness and allows them to be used for a variety of purposes. Not only is damp proofing beneficial for your health, but it can also boost the value of your property.
The costs of dealing with damp issues depend on a range of factors, such as size, design, source of damp, and materials employed.
