At Down Property Care Ltd, we treat rising damp through the installation of a damp proof course. Rising damp can affect both walls and floors. To treat it, we first remove the internal plaster and coats back to the brickwork at a minimum of 1000mm. We then drill holes in the base of the walls and inject Triton Chemicals' new-generation DPC formula. This is a water-based thixotropic gel, which diffuses naturally into the substrates. After injection, Tri-Gel reacts to form a water-repellent silicon resin network within the capillaries of the substrate.
Wet rot, commonly found in timber, is the result of severe water ingress and continuous contact with damp conditions. Dry rot, on the other hand, is caused by a wood destroying fungus that feeds on the wood slowly. At Down Property Care Ltd, we have a team of experts to help you. We can carry out a survey to identify the type of rot and offer effective remedies to prevent it from reoccurring.
