Professional damp proofing, rising damp treatment and property preservation throughout Earlsfield SW18 and surrounding South West London.
Earlsfield SW18 – South West London
Atruss Preservation provides professional damp proofing in Earlsfield SW18 for homeowners, landlords and property owners experiencing damp, staining, damaged plaster, mould or moisture-related problems.
Our Earlsfield damp proofing service covers investigation and treatment of suspected rising damp, defective or bridged damp proof courses, high external ground levels, water ingress, basement moisture and damp-related plaster damage.
Earlsfield is part of the London Borough of Wandsworth and has a mixture of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, period houses, flats and converted properties. Older buildings can develop damp problems for a number of reasons, including changes to external ground levels, defective DPCs, penetrating damp and previous remedial work.
The aim of a damp investigation is to establish the likely source of moisture before recommending remedial work. Not every damp wall is necessarily affected by rising damp, so the building should be considered as a whole.
Rising damp can cause staining, tide marks, damaged plaster, salt deposits and deterioration of internal wall finishes. We investigate suspected rising damp before recommending appropriate treatment.
Rising Damp TreatmentWhere an existing damp proof course has failed, been bridged or is otherwise unsuitable, a renewed DPC may be considered. We can undertake DPC installation and associated remedial work.
New DPC InstallationA damp survey considers the external and internal condition of the property and helps identify possible sources of moisture before remedial work is recommended.
Arrange a Damp SurveyRaised paving, soil, paths and other external surfaces can sometimes bridge a damp proof course or reduce the clearance between the DPC and external ground.
High Ground LevelsBasements and below-ground areas can suffer from water ingress. Atruss provides waterproofing and tanking solutions for suitable properties and applications.
Waterproofing ServicesWhere plaster has deteriorated because of damp, defective material may need to be removed and replaced as part of the remedial process.
Damp PlasteringAtruss Preservation provides damp treatment throughout Earlsfield and the surrounding SW18 residential area.
The existing Atruss Earlsfield page identifies a much wider range of SW18 roads, including Swaffield Road, Allfarthing Lane, Garratt Lane, Burntwood Lane, Earlsfield Road and Wimbledon Road. These local references have been retained and reorganised rather than simply repeating the entire road list for SEO purposes.
Many Earlsfield homes are older residential properties where the relationship between the external ground level, damp proof course, internal floor level and wall construction needs to be considered when investigating damp.
These symptoms can have different causes. A proper investigation is therefore preferable to automatically assuming that a damp proof course needs replacing.
We begin by examining the outside of the property for potential defects, high ground levels, drainage issues and possible bridging of the damp proof course.
Internal walls can then be examined for visible evidence of damp. Moisture readings may be taken using appropriate equipment where required.
The objective is to identify the likely source of moisture rather than simply treat the visible symptom.
Depending on the findings, remedial work could involve a new DPC, plaster replacement, waterproofing, addressing external ground levels or another appropriate solution.
Atruss states that the person surveying the property will also carry out the work if the customer proceeds, providing continuity between the survey and remedial work. The company also states that it aims to provide quotations within 24 hours of a visit where possible.
