Damp Maintenance refers to the process of preventing, diagnosing, and treating damp-related issues in buildings. Proper maintenance helps protect the structure from damage caused by moisture and prevents health problems associated with mold and mildew.

Common Types of Damp Issues:

1. Rising Damp – Moisture moving up from the ground through walls due to capillary action.
2. Penetrating Damp – Water leaking through walls, roofs, or windows due to cracks or poor sealing.
3. Condensation – High humidity leading to mold growth, usually caused by poor ventilation.

Damp Maintenance Services Include:

• Damp Proofing – Installing damp-proof membranes, coatings, or injections to prevent moisture penetration.
• Leak Repairs – Fixing plumbing leaks, roof leaks, and faulty drainage that cause dampness.
• Ventilation Improvement – Installing or maintaining air vents, extractor fans, and dehumidifiers to reduce condensation.
• Wall and Roof Treatments – Applying waterproof coatings, repairing cracks, and ensuring proper insulation.
• Mold Removal & Prevention – Cleaning and treating affected areas to prevent future mold growth.
