Damp Proofing

Stockcode: Damp Proofing

Structural waterproofing protects the structural integrity of a building, likewise damp proofing will also protect a structure.  Dampness can be harmful to the integrity of a building. If not treated, water ingress can cause cracks in masonry along with extensive damage to bricks and mortar.
Damp also changes the atmosphere of a structure.  If a damp problem is not remedied, it may lead to more serious complications.
Different types of dampness will require different treatments.

Rising Damp
Rising damp is a form of dampness that occurs when ground water rises-up through walls, floors and masonry via a capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) drawing moisture up though porous elements of a building’s fabric. When water rises within the wall it will allow ground salts which are in solution to rise up the wall through capillary action, these salts are typically nitrate and chloride salts which are hygroscopic and actually attract moisture from the air. Ammonium Sulphates are often found in chimneys as a result of the burning of fossil fuels, these slats are also hygroscopic and classically why damp patches are often exhibited on chimney breasts.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp is moisture which penetrates laterally through the fabric of a building from the outside (typically because of leaking roofs, pipework, blocked or damaged guttering and cracks in walls.
Penetrating damp is particularly common in older buildings and south-west facing walls.
Dampness can be measured with electrical resistance meters or carbide meters, either on the surface or within the building fabric itself. A Calcium Carbide meter can be a very accurate diagnostic tool especially when profiling is carried out.
