Rising Damp

Identifying the source of rising damp and implementing solutions.

What is it?‍

Rising damp is a common issue that can have serious long-term impacts. It occurs when groundwater rises through the walls and floors of a building, bringing with it salts and minerals that can weaken structural integrity. The presence of rising damp can be identified by surface damage on walls, peeling paint, and a musty smell.

If left untreated, rising damp can cause significant structural damage to a building, including weakening of the walls and floor, decay of timber, and even growth of mould. ‍

How can Premier help?‍

Premier has a team of experts who specialise in identifying the cause of rising damp and providing the best possible solution. We use a range of effective techniques to prevent further moisture penetration and repair any existing damage.

Step 1.

Diagnose the Problem

We don’t just scratch the surface. Our ability to identify and diagnose existing or potential problems is standard procedure. Our Principal, Geoff Humby, brings experience working in Federal Government criminal forensics, and has trained each member of the Premier Waterproofing team to follow the same rigid standards.

Step 2.

Engage a Specialist Team with Specialised Products

We believe in specialisation. Each job we undertake requires a unique skillset and approach. We don’t take shortcuts or make assumptions; we address each project like it’s our first and will custom design products for the best possible solution.

Step 3.

Leave No Trace

The problem is fixed, but we were never here; at least, you could be mistaken for thinking that. Our specialised vacuum-attached machinery and dust suppression techniques means that nothing will be left behind. No dust, no rubbish, no extra material. The only thing you’ll keep is a solution.
