There are many ways to identify if your property is suffering from Rising Damp or Penetrating Damp, which are the two most common damp problems that can affect any property. Condensation can also pose significant problems in some properties, but there are ways to resolve condensation problems.

What Causes Rising Damp?

Rising Damp usually occurs when there is a lack of, or a failure in the damp proof course.

Bridging of the damp proof treatment course by internal plaster / external render or by high ground levels can also cause rising damp.

Eliminate any other causes, such as condensation, that could be mistaken for rising damp

Assess the extent of the dampness and the need for re-plastering

Provide the most cost-effective solution to your damp problem

Check the condition of floor timbers for possible decay

Rising Damp Repairs

If you suspect Rising Damp in your property you should get remedial work carried out by a trained specialist.

At Allkare, our specialist technicians are professionally trained to carry out rising damp treatment.

What Causes Penetrating Damp?

There are two main causes of Penetrating Damp:

Building Defects - Defective roof coverings, cracked brickwork, badly fitting windows/ door frames, faulty guttering and downpipes

Lateral Penetrating Damp - Caused when the external ground, abutting the wall is above internal floor level

Penetrating Damp Repairs

Penetrating Damp can impact on the environment in your property but there are various treatments available to correct this potentially harmful occurrence.

At Alkare we offer both Single Membrane and Cementitious Tanking system solutions to treat Penetrating Damp caused by high external ground levels. These solutions will provide a dry internal wall surface, making the cellar or basement rooms of your property habitable again.
