Rising Damp Treatment

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground is drawn up through the walls of a building by capillary action. Capital Home Improvements Ltd provides specialist rising damp treatment services across London, using proven techniques to eliminate this common problem.

Signs of rising damp include tide marks on walls, salt deposits (efflorescence), peeling wallpaper, crumbling plaster, and a musty smell. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek professional advice promptly.

Our rising damp treatment process begins with a thorough damp survey using professional moisture meters and other diagnostic tools. Once we have confirmed the diagnosis and extent of the problem, we install a new chemical damp proof course by injection.

After the damp proof course has been installed, we remove contaminated plaster and apply specialist renovation plaster that is designed to cope with residual moisture and salt deposits. The result is dry, healthy walls that will last for decades.
