Rising Damp Treatments
Rising damp treatments involve installing chemical damp-proof courses in accordance with British Standard BS-6576-1985. This process includes plaster removal, anti-sulphate treatment, and lightweight renovating plaster application. Ideal for properties with ground-level moisture intrusion, ensuring long-term structural protection and compliance with heritage standards.
Condensation Solutions
Condensation solutions include eco-friendly ventilation systems and lifestyle advice to reduce humidity. We address black mould growth and respiratory risks through breathable membranes and extractor fan installations. Tailored for modern, well-insulated homes in Nottingham experiencing moisture-related health and structural issues.
Penetrating Damp Repairs
Penetrating damp repairs focus on external defects like faulty guttering and porous brickwork. Treatments include SecoTherm water repellent coatings and internal tanking membranes. Designed for properties with rainwater ingress above ground level, ensuring moisture evaporation and structural integrity.
Timber Preservation
Timber preservation targets dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. Our methods involve infected material removal, chemical treatments, and anti-fungal solutions. Essential for properties with structural timber damage, restoring safety and longevity to affected areas.
Mould Remediation
Mould remediation addresses black mould growth caused by condensation. We combine ventilation improvements with anti-microbial treatments and plaster replacement. Critical for improving indoor air quality and preventing respiratory issues linked to prolonged damp exposure.
Questions
What are the main types of damp treated by Nottingham Damp Proofing?
We specialise in rising damp, condensation, and penetrating damp. Each requires distinct diagnosis and treatment methods aligned with British Standards.
How do I know if I have rising damp?
Rising damp typically appears as low-level wall dampness up to 1 metre, with plaster breakdown and salt contamination. A professional survey confirms the cause.
Do you offer free surveys?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation surveys and written quotations within 48 hours for all properties in Nottingham and surrounding areas.
What guarantees do you provide?
Our damp-proof courses carry 20- to 30-year guarantees, with all treatments backed by insurance and compliance with British Standards.
Can condensation cause health issues?
Yes, prolonged condensation leads to black mould growth, which can trigger respiratory problems and allergies. We offer ventilation solutions to mitigate this.
How do you treat penetrating damp?
Penetrating damp is addressed by repairing external defects, applying water repellents like SecoTherm, or installing breathable membranes to prevent rainwater ingress.
