Damp can have many different causes. Rising damp, penetrating damp, defective gutters and downpipes, high external ground levels, bridged DPCs, plumbing leaks and below-ground water ingress can all result in moisture appearing within a property.
Consequently, identifying the source of moisture is an important first step. A damp patch should not automatically be assumed to be rising damp.
Atruss Preservation offers remedial solutions including damp proof courses, damp plastering, waterproofing, high-ground-level correction, woodworm treatment and structural crack repairs.

Moisture can rise through masonry where a damp proof course is absent, defective or bridged.
Typical symptoms can include staining, salts, damaged plaster and deterioration near the lower sections of walls.
Rainwater can enter through defective gutters, downpipes, pointing, render, roofs and other external building defects.
Soil, paving, paths, render and other external materials can sometimes bridge a property's damp proof course.
Changes to paths, patios and gardens can sometimes leave external ground too close to the DPC.
High Ground Level SolutionsLower-ground rooms can experience water penetration through walls and floors and may require an appropriate waterproofing system.
Condensation and inadequate ventilation can also produce mould and damp-looking surfaces.
Correctly identifying the source is important before specifying remedial work.
Reigate contains a mixture of residential properties, including older houses, period buildings, flats and more modern homes. Different construction types can respond differently to moisture.
In older properties, wall construction, floor levels, external landscaping and previous alterations can all be relevant when investigating damp.
For example, a patio or driveway that has been raised over the years may reduce the clearance between the external surface and the original DPC. External render or other coatings can also potentially bridge a DPC.
The important point is that the cause needs to be identified before choosing the remedial solution.
Atruss Preservation's existing damp guidance explains the importance of checking external ground levels and possible DPC bridging when investigating damp.
