Damp Proof Course For Cellar Conversions Leicester
Cellars can be found beneath many homes within the UK. Whilst in the past these would have been used to store coal and other items, today an increasing number of homeowners are choosing to maximise space by converting their basement. Unfortunately, rising damp is a problem that plagues older properties, and one that many individuals are likely to encounter during the conversion process. We at Dampco Ltd are dedicated to tackling this problem, and offer treatment for homeowners carrying out a cellar conversion Leicester area.
Rising damp is a problem that is prevalent within cellars and basements, due to their positioning. It is commonly found within older properties with existing cellars, as in many cases the homes either pre-date damp proofing techniques or they have failed over time.
As the damp penetrates through the brickwork it can cause a whole host of problems, including crumbling of the bricks and mortar, and unsightly stains and mould on the interior walls.
Our team have been experts in the field of damp proofing for over 40 years and during this time we have been able to pinpoint the most efficient ways to remedy rising damp. After surveying the area we will usually install a damp course, this is essentially a barrier that prevents damp from penetrating the walls.
Our damp course consists of an odourless and environmentally friendly gel that is injected into the mortar. As our team are all fully trained to deal with rising damp, our clients can guarantee clean and efficient treatment that is carried out to the very highest professional standards.
If you are planning a cellar conversion Leicester we would recommend contracting a damp proofing specialist to assess the area before you begin decorating. To arrange for one of our surveyors to visit your property, fill out our enquiry form or call one of our local telephone numbers.
