All buildings today are constructed incorporating an effective damp proofing membrane. There are, however, many older buildings that were constructed without effective damp proofing, and also buildings who's damp proofing has simply broken down from perhaps the age of the building for instance. This defective damp proofing allows moisture to enter the building through rising damp. This rising damp can carry with it ground salts, including chlorides and nitrates which can then absorb moisture from the atmosphere, which results in decorative spoiling by breaking down of the internal plaster, noticeably as paint blisters or flaking, and also as an unpleasant smell.

Treatment.

Our cost effective treatment by a simple chemical injection of a silicate into the mortar bed is a system recognised by architects, building societies, and construction firms. Because the chemicals we use are water based, they are non-flammable, practically odourless, and the treatment carries a full 30 year guarantee.
