Atruss Preservation provides damp proofing and property preservation throughout Sutton and the surrounding areas of the London Borough of Sutton.
If you have discovered damp patches, damaged plaster, salt deposits, mould, peeling paint or a musty smell, there may be an underlying moisture problem that needs investigating.
Damp does not always have a single cause. Properties in Sutton can experience rising damp, penetrating damp, bridged damp proof courses, high external ground levels, defective gutters and downpipes, plumbing leaks, basement water ingress and condensation.
For this reason, the source of moisture should be considered before deciding which remedial treatment is appropriate.
Atruss Preservation provides damp surveys, rising damp treatment, DPC installation, waterproofing, damp plastering, high-ground-level correction, woodworm treatment and structural repair services across Sutton and neighbouring areas.
The London Borough of Sutton contains a wide range of residential neighbourhoods and property types. Damp problems can therefore vary considerably between properties and locations.

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground moves upwards through porous masonry. It can be associated with a missing, defective or bridged damp proof course.
Possible signs include dampness around lower walls, salt deposits, damaged plaster and deterioration around skirting boards.
Rising Damp TreatmentPenetrating damp occurs when water enters through the external building fabric. Possible causes include defective gutters and downpipes, damaged pointing, cracked render, roof defects and damaged masonry.
External paving, soil, render, paths and other materials can sometimes bridge the damp proof course, allowing moisture to bypass the intended barrier.
High Ground Levels & Bridged DPCsCondensation occurs when moisture in the air meets a cold surface. Bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and poorly ventilated areas can all be affected.
Basement and lower-ground areas can experience water entering through below-ground walls and floors. Depending on the construction, specialist waterproofing or tanking may be appropriate.
Basement WaterproofingRaised soil, paving and other landscaping materials can reduce the clearance between the outside surface and the damp proof course.
Sutton contains a mixture of Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, semi-detached houses, flats, converted buildings and newer residential developments.
The age and construction of a property can influence how moisture behaves. Previous extensions, rendering, alterations to external paving and changes to garden levels can also affect damp proofing arrangements.
A damp patch around the bottom of a wall should therefore not automatically be assumed to be rising damp. Other possible sources include penetrating damp, plumbing leaks, condensation and bridged DPCs.
Atruss Preservation can investigate the property and recommend appropriate remedial work based on the observed conditions.
