Each year, the average home in the UK copes with an average of 133 days of rain or snow per year, totalling around 33.7 inches of rainwater. When a building is constructed, a preventative damp proof course is generally installed into the base of the walls in the form of a plastic membrane or slate barrier. This is to prevent damp rising through the fabric wall. Often issues with damp do not become evident until your house is surveyed during a move, which can then cause problems with the sale. Depending on the source of your damp, there are various ways DryPro can treat your damp.

DryPro have the expertise to access the wall ties, detecting a wall cavity fault and we can provide the most appropriate solution to fix it. Wall ties are used to join the internal and external walls of a cavity wall & are installed during construction. They are a critical & essential with regards to the stability of masonry. Cavity wall ties are prone to corrosion and if they are not properly protected, moisture can lead its way along the metal and cause oxidisation. This can have a number of repercussions for the homeowner, for example, expansion of the metal can cause both horizontal & vertical cracking in the brickwork, the cracking (if left unattended) can result in the destabilisation of the wall.

Cellar tanking uses techniques and materials to prevent water from penetrating your property. Tanking a cellar requires additional sealant materials, the installation of drains and sump pumps and more. It's a great way of tackling penetrative damp. Any building that is built at or below ground level is required to be waterproofed according to building codes. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially important in cases where groundwater is likely to build up in the soil. Water in the soil causes pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and walls.
