Damp Proofing - Walls and Ceilings

How Do You apply a Damp-Proof Solution?

It depends on the solution you need. For instance, to install a DPM on a wall, you have to remove the existing plaster and attach it using adhesive. You also need to plaster or render over the membrane to finish the job.

But, for a damp-proof cream, you have to drill holes into the mortar joints and inject the cream using an injection gun. The solution will dictate the installation process.

Should You Hire a Damp-Proof Specialist?

Yes, in most cases, you need a professional because damp proofing is complex and requires specialised knowledge and skills. An experienced contractor will diagnose the problem accurately and recommend the best solution.  

Professional damp-proof specialists also use the latest equipment and materials, ensuring high standards in all their projects. They can sometimes also offer a guarantee on their work, providing you with compensation in case of errors and disruption to your property. 

Should You Fix Dampness Yourself (DIY)?

Yes, but you should usually hire a professional because DIY damp solutions have many risks.  

If you misdiagnose the problem and apply the wrong treatment, you could worsen the state of your home. For instance, if you have rising dampness and apply damp-proof plaster instead of DPC, you’d be trapping moisture in the walls.
