• Abutting soil, paving or concrete located at a level that bridges the damp proof course
• Render coats or mortar pointing that extends across the line of the DPC
• Blockages in wall cavities that build up to a level higher than that of the waterproof layer
• Structural movement or building alterations that break the continuity of the damp course

The consequence of rising damp in the walls of a building includes prospect for the excess moisture to cause wood floors and skirting boards to rot, wall plaster to deteriorate, and decorated finishes to peel and stain.

Thankfully damp proofing never been easier. Our BBA Approved damp proof injection cream is a powerful water repellent that is injected into walls at regular intervals. From here it percolates along the mortar bed to line capillary pores with a water repellent silicone resin to get rid of damp. Damp-Cure cream offers:

• Quick and simple installation – injection creams are up to 4 times faster than high pressure injection systems. Effortless low pressure application makes damp proofing easy.
