Weybridge Rising Damp Case Study

This period property in Weybridge, Surrey, showed low-level damp symptoms including deteriorating plaster, damp patches and damaged finishes. A detailed inspection considered internal moisture patterns, masonry condition, external ground levels and the existing damp-proof course.

The remedial work included a chemical damp-proof course, removal of affected plaster, a salt-resistant render specification and replastering. The project also revealed decayed flooring that required replacement joists and new sheet flooring.

What are common signs of rising damp?

Possible signs include low-level damp patches, salt deposits, deteriorating plaster, peeling decorations and damage around skirting level. Other defects can create similar symptoms, so an inspection is important.

Can damp damage a suspended timber floor?

Persistent moisture and inadequate subfloor ventilation can contribute to timber decay. In this project, damaged flooring was removed and new joists and sheet flooring were installed.
