Common Damp Problems in Guildford Properties
Guildford has a mix of period properties, Edwardian and Victorian homes, and modern developments. Each comes with its own challenges:
Period and older properties often suffer from failed damp-proof courses, rising damp in solid walls, and timber decay in structural elements. The clay soils common across parts of Surrey can contribute to ground moisture issues.
Modern properties are more likely to experience condensation and mould, particularly in properties with reduced ventilation or where cavity wall insulation has bridged.
Properties near the River Wey or lower-lying areas may experience penetrating damp or water ingress, particularly after heavy rainfall.
Whatever the property type, our surveyors have seen it before and know how to fix it.
Our Damp Proofing Solutions:
Breathable membrane systems
Our 3mm breathable mesh waterproof membrane is designed to provide effective protection when used with a damp proof course. It helps prevent water ingress while allowing vapour to escape, ensuring a dry, healthy environment within your property. Its durable, breathable design makes it ideal for safeguarding against damp issues.
Waterproof & Breathable cement tanking
A waterproof breathable, cementious tanking system helps protect walls from water ingress while allowing moisture vapour to escape, preventing damp and mould. It provides a durable, flexible barrier that maintains a dry, healthy environment inside.
Chemical Damp Proof Course Injection
Using a chemical damp proof course performed by drilling & injecting into the masonry creates an effective hydrophobic barrier at the base of the wall, preventing moisture from rising through the masonry. This solution is quick to install, minimally invasive, and provides long-lasting protection against rising damp, helping to preserve the structural integrity and value of your property while maintaining a dry, healthy interior environment.
Electro Osmosis
Electro osmosis in dampproofing offers an innovative and non-invasive solution to rising damp by applying a low electrical charge to the affected masonry. This process encourages moisture to be drawn downwards and away from the wall, effectively reducing dampness without the need for extensive drilling or chemical treatments. It is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and provides a permanent, reliable barrier, helping to protect the building’s structure and indoor air quality.
