DAMP PROOF COURSE INSTALLATION NEWCASTLE
Moisture Mend provides professional damp proof course installation in Newcastle and surrounding areas for properties affected by rising moisture. Where an existing DPC is inadequate or no longer providing effective protection, we can assess the problem and provide an appropriate remedial damp proofing solution.
DAMP PROOF COURSE SERVICES IN NEWCASTLE
A damp proof course is designed to help prevent ground moisture travelling upwards through walls and masonry. Moisture Mend provides DPC solutions across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland, with the treatment selected according to the property and moisture problem identified.
DPC ASSESSMENT
Before recommending remedial work, our Damp Surveys can investigate the location and pattern of moisture to help establish whether a damp proof course problem or another source of damp is responsible.
DPC INJECTION
Where suitable, a remedial DPC Injection can be introduced into the masonry to create a moisture-resistant barrier and help prevent ground moisture continuing to rise through affected walls.
RISING DAMP REPAIRS
Where a failed or inadequate DPC has contributed to rising moisture, our Rising Damp Treatment and associated damp plaster repairs can address both the underlying problem and damage to internal wall finishes.
REMEDIAL DPC SOLUTIONS FOR RISING MOISTURE
An effective damp proof course forms a barrier intended to restrict moisture rising from the ground through porous masonry. Where this protection is missing, inadequate or ineffective, moisture can affect the lower sections of walls and contribute to damaged plaster, peeling finishes and persistent dampness.
Moisture Mend assesses the symptoms before determining whether remedial DPC work is appropriate. Depending on the property, treatment can include suitable injection systems and associated moisture barriers, followed by removal and reinstatement of damp-affected plaster where required.
10-YEAR WARRANTY
Damp works are backed by the 10-year warranty promoted by Moisture Mend.
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE INSTALLATION
We assess the moisture problem before recommending a damp proof course solution, helping ensure DPC work is used where it is appropriate.
WHY CHOOSE MOISTURE MEND FOR DAMP PROOF COURSE INSTALLATION?
Not every damp patch is caused by a failed damp proof course. Moisture Mend combines damp diagnosis with specialist treatment so the source of moisture can be considered before remedial DPC work is undertaken.
DAMP PROOF COURSE INSTALLATION NEWCASTLE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about damp proof course installation in Newcastle, including DPC problems, injections, rising damp and associated repairs.
WHAT IS A DAMP PROOF COURSE?
A damp proof course is a barrier within a building designed to restrict moisture from the ground travelling upwards through walls and masonry. Where it is absent or ineffective, rising moisture can affect internal walls and finishes.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DAMP PROOF COURSE HAS FAILED?
Persistent moisture around the lower sections of walls, damaged plaster and peeling finishes can indicate a possible rising damp or DPC problem. These symptoms can have other causes, so the property should be assessed before DPC work is recommended.
WHAT IS A DPC INJECTION?
A DPC injection involves introducing an appropriate damp proofing treatment into the masonry to create a moisture-resistant barrier. It can be used as a remedial solution where suitable for the property and damp problem identified.
DOES EVERY DAMP PROPERTY NEED A NEW DPC?
No. Damp can result from rising moisture, penetrating water, condensation or other causes. Moisture Mend assesses the problem before recommending a DPC installation or injection so unnecessary treatment can be avoided.
CAN YOU REPAIR THE WALLS AFTER DPC INSTALLATION?
Yes. Where rising damp has damaged plaster or internal wall finishes, Moisture Mend can provide associated damp plaster repairs, re-skimming and rendering following the damp proofing treatment.
