Most forms of dampness can be prevented by thoughtful building design and careful construction. In the UK, well built modern houses include DAMP PROOFING in the form of a synthetic damp-proof course (DPC), about 15 cm above ground level, to act as a barrier through which water cannot pass. Slate or “engineering bricks” with a low porosity were often used for the first few courses above ground level, and these can help minimise the problem.

There are many approaches to the treatment of dampness in existing buildings. Key to the selection of an appropriate treatment is a correct diagnosis of the types of dampness affecting a building. Details of possible treatments for specific types of dampness are covered in the the reports we supply

The cause of the dampness must first be eliminated, sometimes providing better drainage or fixing leaking pipes are the solution. BRE Digest 245[9] describes several methods of treating rising damp, including the use of land-drains and the insertion of physical and chemical DPCs. Then, any affected plaster or mortar must be removed, and the wall treated, before replacing the plaster and repainting. we are certified to use all BBA [british Board of aggregates] approved material all which meet the green standard of approval.Damp tech part of V Build offer all our knowledge to help solve your damp issues before injecting or any apply brick creams are applied
