Rising Damp in Finsbury Park

Rising Damp is the popular term for what happens when moisture from the ground flows up the walls of a building through capillary action. Damp walls can threaten the stability of the structure and should always be investigated by a reliable, professional and reputable surveyor. Here at Kenwood Dam Proofing PLC we have trained and experienced people who will be only too happy to inspect the problem, assess its severity, and let you have a full report, detailing any repairs that need to be done.

Basement Tanking in Hendon

Penetrating damp is moisture that comes through walls that are made of porous material, such as brick and many types of stone, from an outside source. If you have a basement or cellar that are below ground level, then the water pressure in the ground on the outside of your cellar walls causes a permanent flow of moisture through the brick or stonework whenever the earth around your home is wet - and in our British climate, that's most of the time.

Tanking is a process whereby the inside walls and floor are treated with several layers of material, such as bitumen, cementitious compounds and waterproof lining to create a watertight "tank" inside the premises. When the space to be treated is below ground level, it is sometimes necessary to provide drainage channels and a sump to allow the naturally occurring groundwater to drain freely.

Rising Damp Treatments in Holloway

If your home's damp proof course is missing or compromised, groundwater will rise up your walls, attacking the structure of the bricks, mortar, plaster and any timber. Moist timber, in a warm environment, provides ideal conditions for the growth of fungi that are commonly called Dry Rot - a misleading term since, in common with most fungi, dry rot does require quite a high level of moisture to grow. It can quickly turn a solid floor joist into a shell of dust as it eats the rhizomes spread through the wood, feeding off it and causing serious decay in the process.
