Damp and Timber Survey – Warrington
Our client engaged Damp Solutions UK to carry out a comprehensive damp and timber survey on a mid-terrace property they were interested in purchasing in Warrington.
How is Damp Proof Course Installed
Installing Damp proof
First, you must install a damp proof course by drilling the masonry at the base of the damp walls and injecting a specially formulated siliconate solution until the entire depth is fully impregnated.
The process
The injection process when damp proofing walls, is low odour and cures within the masonry wall to form an impervious barrier to rising dampness, which prevents moisture rising from the ground into the treated walls. Adjacent abutting walls are isolated using a vertical damp proof course as part of the damp proofing treatment.
Used in conjunction with our specialist waterproof membrane system this provides a reliable and cost-effective method of treatment to ensure damp walls and wet rot are no longer an issue in your home.
The new damp proof course within the damp walls will prevent moisture rising and the masonry will begin to dry out. However, due to the effects of ground salts, the damp walls will not dry out fully unless the existing plaster is removed and replaced using our vertical membrane system.
Rising Damp can develop within walls due to the lack of an effective damp proof course, or the bridging of a damp proof course, during earlier construction or renovation.
As damp proofing experts across Manchester, Sheffield and the High Peak, we offer fully intensive surveys and reports by certified surveyors in remedial treatments, who holds the nationally recognised CSRT Qualification.

Really professional work. Performed a survey, created a detailed report, and worked with us, in face-to-face visits, to figure out anything that we did or didn’t need doing.
Physical work carried out with little fuss and went above and beyond being very helpful with specific requests that arose during the work.
Would recommend to anyone.

Really impressed by the service from Damp Solutions. The original qoute provided by Dale was very reasonable and came with a detailed report of the damp proofing work that needed doing and what was involved.
The work was carried out by Kane and the team who did a great job. Very curtious, tidy, and efficient. I even managed to work from home throughout the week while they were here! Left the place nice and clean afterwards too - couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Thank you for all your help, you went above and beyond not only helping with the issue I contacted you for but also other parts of the house that have now been caught before they become a problem. Everyone was so helpful, tidy and efficient. I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again if I ever needed to or recommending to anyone else. Thank you 😊

From meeting Dale at my parents house to the finish of the job, Dale has been brilliant, such a lovely young man, he was lovely with my elderly parents, went above and beyond to assist them with the job they needed doing, his knowledge is outstanding. Everything was done professionally and everything was explained and put in writing, so you know exactly what your getting for your money, the lads turned up to do the job and fully respected mum and dads house, they worked hard to complete it in one week, a fantastic company and owner, I would highly recommend Dale and his work lads to anyone, thank you so much for your empathy to my parents and their plight.

Dale and his team did a fantastic job. Dale provided a thorough estimate and delivery timeline, both of which were met, and his team were courteous and punctual each day. They took care to minimise mess and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done, which massively reduced the stress for me! Thanks chaps.
