Specialist Damp Proofing Solutions
Expert diagnosis and permanent treatment for both rising and lateral damp issues.
Damp is more than a peeling problem.
Moisture ingress is a structural disease. Left untreated, it compromises the integrity of your walls, destroys plaster and paint finishes, creates musty odours, and encourages dangerous mould growth. At **Prop Seal**, we diagnose the type of damp accurately and implement industrial-grade solutions to stop moisture for good.
Rising Damp (Ground Water)
Moisture that travels vertically up from the ground through porous brickwork, usually because of a missing, failed, or compromised damp proof course (DPC).
Our Solutions:
- Specialized Chemical DPC Injection
- Full Wall Re-plastering (using moisture-resistant additives)
- Sub-floor Ventilation Assessment
Lateral Damp (Penetrating Water)
Water that forces its way sideways through external walls, typically caused by earth being banked against the structure (retaining walls), faulty flashing, or failing external finishes.
Our Solutions:
- Exterior Wall Tanking Systems
- Basement & Retaining Wall Waterproofing
- Improved Drainage Solutions
The Consequences of Delay
Structural Decay
Salt crystallization can destroy brickwork and mortar, and moisture rots any embedded timber structures.
Health Risks
Mould and mildew thrive in damp environments, creating respiratory issues and musty, unpleasant odours.
Asset Depreciation
Unresolved damp significantly reduces the value of your property and makes the interior unlivable.
