Our damp proofing services in West Sussex always start with an accurate on-site analysis performed by NHBC-certified surveyors equipped with specialized moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, chemical testing materials and more for investigating water damaged areas. This allows us to establish moisture content levels, diagnose if rising damp wicked from below or lateral intrusion through walls is at play, identify condensation and ventilation issues causing penetration damp and pinpoint any gaps, cracks or outright breaches allowing leaks from the exterior. With causation sources fully explored and mapped, we engineer custom treatment plans specific to each unique scenario.
When appropriate for the situation, we often recommend installing preventative cavity wall barriers or breathable membranes beneath new plaster mixes to cut off moisture migration while enabling vapor permeability across sections showing contamination. Other situations call for full-on concrete basement tanking solutions molded directly to the impacted surfaces for uncompromising waterproofing defenses. We also offer comprehensive replastering and drainage services alongside all installations to treat existing issues and prevent recurrence.
