The team that worked upon my rising damp were extremely efficient, arriving on time daily and managing to complete the job successfully. I was very pleased with the work carried out and will be recommending them for any other jobs that arise in the future, thank you. I'd just like to say that I was very impressed by your honesty, efficiency, and knowledge. On many occasions I have had companies in to provide estimates for work and I don't get the feeling they are being completely honest and I don't feel 100% confident that the solution they are recommending will actually resolve the problem (that's if they actually show for the appointment!).
The DPC prevents water from the ground rising up inside the wall, where it can damage internal finishes and cause decay to timber in contact with the damp masonry. The most common reason for failure is old age but often building works like new patios or extensions can compromise the DPC: This is called bridging because moisture can now reach the unprotected wall. The end result is damaged paint, wallpaper and flaking plasterwork. More serious problems such as DRY and WET ROT can follow. DampWorks solves the problem by injecting a new damp proof course; our chemical injection process is safe and environmentally friendly and cures within the masonry wall to form an IMPERVIOUS BARRIER TO RISING DAMP.
