Only rising damp can be cured by the installation of a chemical damp proof course. Rising damp is a commonly encountered problem in many types of building, however it is often misdiagnosed and many damp proof courses are installed unnecessarily. Condensation is produced by the occupiers of the property and a family of four can produce many litres of water in the form of vapour every day, (see our section on condensation for more information). When looking at Rising dampness, decayed skirting boards, crumbling or salt stained plaster, discolouration and staining, decayed timber floors, peeling paint and wallpaper are all common signs of damp.
The are three main types of water problems found in properties, Rising Damp, Penetrating Damp and Condensation. In this section we are only dealing with condensation and mould control, the other types of damp and relevant to diagnosis and further details can be found in the damp control section. Condensation is a prevalent problem in new and old properties, the presence of water streaming down windows, peeling wall paper and black and or green mold growth are all indicators of the condensation problem.
Professional Remedial Services offer an installation service for gas proof / gas resistant membranes. In order to provide additional protection to structures and buildings from potentially harmful ground gases, specialist gas proof /gas resistant membranes are installed. Examples of harmful ground gases would include carbon dioxide, radon, methane, VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) and hydrocarbons. Normally the gas resistant membranes provide protection in conjunction with the structure itself and where applicable with the incorporation of ventilation measures.
