Professional damp proofing, rising damp treatment and property preservation throughout Wandsworth SW18 and surrounding South West London.
Call Atruss Preservation – 07984 712 428Atruss Preservation provides professional damp proofing in Wandsworth SW18 for homeowners, landlords and property owners experiencing damp, staining, damaged plaster, mould or moisture-related problems.
Our Wandsworth damp proofing service covers the investigation and treatment of suspected rising damp, defective or bridged damp proof courses, high external ground levels, water ingress and damp-related plaster damage.
Wandsworth contains a wide range of property types, including Victorian and Edwardian houses, period terraces, flats, conversions and modern properties. Older buildings can be particularly susceptible to damp where external ground levels have changed, damp proof courses have been bridged or previous remedial work has failed.
Our approach is to investigate the property before recommending remedial work. The existing Atruss Wandsworth service describes an external inspection followed by internal wall testing using a Protimeter to help establish the extent of any moisture findings.
Rising damp can produce staining, tide marks, damaged plaster and deterioration to wall finishes. We investigate the likely cause and recommend appropriate remedial treatment where rising damp is confirmed.
Rising Damp TreatmentA defective, bridged or ineffective damp proof course can contribute to moisture entering walls. Where suitable, we can install a renewed DPC and carry out associated remedial plastering.
New DPC InstallationA proper damp investigation considers the outside and inside of the building. We examine potential sources of moisture before advising on suitable remedial work.
Arrange a Damp SurveyRaised soil, paving, paths and other external surfaces can sometimes bridge or reduce the clearance around a damp proof course. We can assess whether external ground levels are contributing to damp.
High Ground LevelsBasements and below-ground areas can experience water ingress and damp. Atruss provides waterproofing and tanking solutions for appropriate applications in Wandsworth and South West London.
Waterproofing ServicesWhere plaster has been damaged by damp, defective material may need to be removed and replaced as part of the remedial process. Associated plastering and rendering can be undertaken where required.
Damp PlasteringOur Wandsworth SW18 damp proofing service covers a wide range of neighbourhoods and residential streets across the borough and surrounding South West London.
We also provide damp proofing services in neighbouring areas including Tooting, Southfields, Earlsfield, Putney, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and other parts of South West London.
Atruss Preservation has documented damp proofing work within the Wandsworth area, including a property in Tooting, Wandsworth, London SW17.
The property was an older two-bedroom house dating from approximately 1880 and had evidence of rising damp. The existing Atruss project records the installation of a renewed damp proof course approximately 15cm above external ground level.
Following the DPC installation, the exposed internal brickwork was treated using a three-coat Sika 1 render specification as part of the remedial works.
This project provides a useful local example of the type of damp problem that can occur in older South West London housing stock.
Discuss Your Wandsworth Damp ProblemThe external walls, ground levels, drainage and visible defects are considered first. This can help identify potential causes such as bridged damp proof courses or external defects.
Internal wall surfaces are examined for staining, damaged plaster and other visible signs of damp. Moisture readings can be taken where appropriate.
The purpose of the inspection is to identify the likely source of the problem rather than automatically assume that every damp wall is affected by rising damp.
Depending on the findings, the solution could involve a new DPC, plaster replacement, waterproofing, changes to external ground levels or another appropriate remedial measure.
Some properties in South West London have basements or below-ground rooms where water ingress can become a problem. Atruss provides specialist waterproofing and tanking solutions for appropriate situations.
Our waterproofing services include systems involving Sika 1 render and cavity drainage membrane solutions. Atruss specifically documents basement waterproofing work in the Wandsworth SW18 area.
