Damp Proofing

Damp in Tall Houses Comes From the Top and the Bottom

Many of Rathmines's tall Victorian houses have a basement or lower ground floor and three storeys above, often split into flats. That means damp can arrive from both ends: rain getting in at the roof, parapets or chimneys at the top, and ground moisture through the walls at the bottom.

We start by finding out which it is. We check the roof, chimney, gutters and ground levels outside, take moisture readings inside, and explain the cause in writing. For landlords, that written account makes it easier to agree the work with tenants and other owners.

Where the problem is in the roof, we fix it ourselves. Where it is in the walls, we treat it.

Damp Proofing

Rising Damp Treatment in Rathmines

Where moisture is rising at ground level, we install a damp proof course and replaster with suitable materials, and check whether ground levels outside have been raised above the old damp course.

Damp Proofing

Tanking for Below-Ground Walls

Basement flats and lower ground floor rooms often have walls below ground. We tank those walls to hold back moisture from the earth behind them.

Damp Proofing

Damp From the Roof, Chimney or Gutters

Damp in a top-floor flat usually starts at the roof, a parapet or a chimney. Those repairs are covered on our Roof Repairs and Chimney Repairs in Rathmines pages, and gutter overflows on Gutter Repairs & Replacement in Rathmines.
