Professional Damp Proofing in Runcorn

Damp can develop for many different reasons, and the correct treatment depends on accurately identifying the source of the moisture. What appears to be rising damp could instead be penetrating moisture, condensation, defective external surfaces, poor ventilation or another property-related issue.

That's why our approach to damp proofing in Runcorn begins with professional diagnosis.

Our damp specialists will assess the affected areas, identify the likely cause and explain the treatment options available. Where remedial work is required, our experienced team can provide a complete solution, from damp proof courses and waterproofing to condensation management, PIV installation and associated plastering work.

If you've noticed damp patches, mould, peeling decoration, damaged plaster, musty odours or unexplained moisture, arrange an inspection before the problem becomes more extensive.

What is a Damp Proof Course?

Damp Proof Courses in Runcorn

Rising damp occurs when moisture travels upwards through porous building materials such as brickwork and mortar. Where rising damp is correctly diagnosed, installing a new damp proof course may be recommended to create an effective barrier against moisture.

Damp Proofing Merseyside provides professional damp proof course installation across Runcorn and surrounding areas, with our DPC treatments backed by a 20-year transferable guarantee.

Not sure whether you have rising damp? Don't assume you need a new DPC. Arrange a professional damp survey first and let our experienced surveyors identify the cause.
