Since its founding, Dower Datech's work has established a widely respected reputation that speaks for itself. Dower Datech is a family run business without the jargon or rigid formalism of a nationwide company. We believe that the damp proofing solution must be tailor-made to the issue in hand. Therefore, all the surveys we offer are bespoke and tailored to our customer's needs rather than a fixed format. Damp is caused by excess moisture that can't escape. Rising damp in basements or ground floors, leaking pipes or rain dripping through broken frames or slates in roofs can cause this moisture in buildings.

Dower Datech's extensive experience, over 50 years in damp proofing and timber treatments, has established our reputation within the industry as one of honesty and quality delivery. Unlike larger nationwide damp proofing companies, Dower Datech still prides itself on our bespoke offering.

Rising damp can be best described as excess moisture within the wall, this occurs as a result of water below the floor rising up through the wall. This can be any material: brick, block, stone, etc. The first sign of rising damp is a yellow or brown 'tide line' stain, which can usually be found at the bottom of your wall, just above the skirting board.

Any water that leaks through a wall, roof or ceiling can be referred to as penetrating damp. Differently to rising damp which travels vertically, penetrating damp travels horizontally.
Wet rot and dry rot are the two most common forms of fungal decay that can be found in buildings. Although both are associated with fungal decay and affect timber, they need to be treated differently. If you are experiencing any signs and are having trouble identifying the problem or if the issue is recurring please do not hesitate to contact us so an experienced timber surveyor can give you advice on the next steps. When the moisture within the timber or other surface reaches approximately 50%, wet rot will develop.
