Liverpool Damp Coursing
Professional Damp Proof Course Treatments in Liverpool
Cheshire Damp provides damp coursing and damp-proofing solutions for homeowners and property owners across Liverpool. If you are experiencing damp patches, damaged plaster or peeling wallpaper around the lower sections of your walls, a problem with moisture entering your property may need investigating.
A damp-proof course (DPC) is designed to help prevent moisture from travelling upwards through walls from the ground. When an existing damp-proof course is missing, damaged or ineffective, moisture may enter the masonry and cause problems with internal finishes. Identifying the cause is essential to choosing the right treatment and protecting your property over the long term.
Whether you own a traditional Liverpool terrace, a period property or a more modern home, Cheshire Damp can help you investigate damp problems and explore suitable remedial options.
Damp coursing generally refers to installing or renewing a damp-proof course to help prevent rising damp. Many properties have a physical damp-proof course incorporated into the walls during construction. Older buildings, however, may have different construction methods or a damp-proof course that requires further investigation.
Where rising damp is correctly diagnosed, a suitable remedial damp-proof course may be recommended. Depending on the construction of the building, this could involve the installation of an appropriate chemical damp-proof course or another suitable method.
It is important to establish the actual source of moisture before undertaking work. Condensation, leaking pipes, defective external pointing, damaged gutters and water penetration can all create symptoms that resemble rising damp. Treating the wrong problem may lead to unnecessary expense without resolving the underlying issue.
