Damp proofing is the process of preventing moisture from travelling through the structure of a building. Most properties rely on a damp proof course (DPC) to act as a barrier between the ground and the internal walls. When this barrier fails, is bridged or was never installed, moisture rises through the masonry and causes visible damage internally. Professional damp proofing restores or replaces this barrier so the building is protected long term.
A damp proofing specialist may recommend treatment when a survey confirms that moisture is entering the property through the walls due to a failed or absent damp proof course. Common indicators include tide marks on internal walls, salt deposits, damaged or blown plaster at low level, peeling wallpaper and persistent musty smells. Not every damp problem requires a full damp proof course. Rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation all present differently and need different solutions. That is why a proper survey from a qualified damp specialist matters before any work begins.
We start with a detailed damp survey to confirm the type and source of the moisture problem. If damp proofing is required, we recommend the most appropriate method for the property. This may include chemical damp proof course injection, physical DPC installation, or associated remedial works such as replastering with a salt-resistant specification. The approach depends on the building type, wall construction and severity of the issue. We never apply a one-size-fits-all solution.

Damp proofing carried out by DampMaster is backed by a guarantee.
This gives you confidence that the treatment has been completed to a professional standard and that your property is protected going forward.
Chemical injection DPC: A silicone-based damp proofing cream is injected into the mortar course to create a new chemical barrier against rising moisture. This is the industry-standard treatment for rising damp in most brick and block properties.
Electro-osmotic systems: An alternative approach used in some listed or sensitive buildings where injection is not suitable.
Associated remedial works: Contaminated plaster is removed and replaced with a salt-resistant replastering system to prevent salts reappearing after treatment.
We do not apply a one-size-fits-all fix. We treat each job with care and respect and aim to do it right first time, everytime.
Recommendations are based on survey findings, property type and the most appropriate treatment method.

Common signs of damp include tide marks or staining on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, black mould, musty smells, and crumbling plaster or woodwork. You may also notice condensation on windows, cold or wet-feeling walls, or a general damp feeling in certain rooms, especially at ground level or in basements.
Damp can be caused by a range of issues, including rising damp from the ground, penetrating damp due to leaks or damaged masonry, condensation from excess moisture in the air, or even faulty gutters and drains. Our surveyors will assess your property to identify the exact cause and recommend the right solution.
