Rising Damp Treatment

Rising damp occurs when groundwater travels upward through porous building materials by capillary action, causing damage to plaster, decoration, and the structural integrity of walls. Capital Home Improvements specialises in diagnosing and treating rising damp using the latest techniques and materials. Our PCA-qualified surveyors use electronic moisture meters and calcium carbide tests to accurately diagnose rising damp and distinguish it from other forms of dampness. Treatment involves injecting a silicone-based damp-proof course (DPC) into the affected walls, followed by replastering with specialist salt-resistant renders. All our rising damp treatments come with a long-term guarantee.
