Rising damp is simply water from the ground that starts entering the structure of your building, depositing damp and salts into the walls and plaster. It often occurs when existing damp-proof courses are faulty, damaged or even missing. Firstly, our fully qualified and experienced surveyor will conduct a thorough survey, checking moisture levels throughout your house, to understand the complete picture. This will effectively create a moisture profile of your property. By carrying out the survey in this methodical manner, we can eliminate any other sources of moisture that may not be rising dampness.
Converting or improving the living space in a basement is invaluable, adding extra living and value to properties. As basements are primarily below ground, they are subjected to much more dampness including hydrostatic pressure (penetrating damp), rising dampness and condensation. But don't let this put you off! We are basement specialists who work on numerous basement projects each year. Cotswold Remedial Services offers a range of Cavity Membrane Systems and waterproofing systems that can transform a damp basement into a dry habitable living space.
