At Dampdoctor, we offer two highly effective solutions to treat rising damp, ensuring the best results for your property. The most suitable method will depend on various factors, such as the specific material of your building. Our expert team will assess your property and choose the most appropriate treatment, providing you with the most efficient and long-lasting solution to protect your home.
Electro Osmosis
At Dampdoctor, we have extensive experience in successfully applying the Electro Osmosis method to treat rising damp. Over the years, we’ve seen many cases where this treatment has been improperly applied by others, leading to ineffective results that require costly rework. Our team, with its deep expertise, ensures the process is done correctly the first time. By reversing the natural movement of moisture, we install anodes (positive charge) at the top of the wall to repel moisture, and cathodes (negative charge) at ground level to draw it downwards. This carefully calibrated method prevents rising damp from spreading and protects your property long-term, giving you peace of mind that the problem is solved properly.
Chemical Injections
At Dampdoctor, we have years of experience using chemical injection to effectively treat rising damp. This method involves injecting a water-repellent material into the brick or mortar joints, creating a barrier that stops moisture from rising. Unfortunately, like Electro Osmosis we often find this treatment done incorrectly by others, leading to ineffective results and additional costs. With our expertise, we ensure the job is done right the first time.
Rising damp can seriously damage your property if not addressed early. If you suspect rising damp, contact our experienced team at Dampdoctor for the right solution, done the right way.
