Damp Proofing

Big Houses, Many Places for Damp to Start

The large Victorian houses of Rathgar have tall chimney stacks, long lead valleys, bay windows and thick solid walls, and some have lower ground floors. When damp appears, it could be coming from any of them.

We trace it methodically: roof, chimney, valleys and gutters first, then ground levels outside, then moisture readings inside. The written explanation sets out what is causing the damp and what will fix it.

We tell you straight when walls will need time to dry after the work, rather than promising instant results.

Damp Proofing

Rising Damp Treatment in Rathgar

Where ground moisture is rising through solid walls, we install a damp proof course and replaster with materials suited to the wall. We also check that ground levels and paths outside are not bridging the damp course.

Damp Proofing

Tanking for Below-Ground Walls

On houses with lower ground floors, walls below ground level can be tanked to hold back moisture from the earth.

Damp Proofing

Damp From the Roof, Chimney or Gutters

On big period roofs, damp high on a wall often comes from a tall stack or a valley. Those repairs are covered on our Chimney Repairs in Rathgar and Roof Repairs pages, with gutters on Gutter Repairs & Replacement in Rathgar.
