Damp Control

Dampness in domestic and commercial properties can take many forms including:

Rising Damp
Rising Damp is water from the ground that enters a structure by capillary action. It is a commonly encountered problem in many types of building but it is often mis-diagnosed and many damp proof courses are installed unnecessarily.

Condensation
Condensation is mainly a winter problem particularly where warm moist air is generated in living areas and then penetrated to colder parts of the home. Black spot mould will form on walls and even clothing. Condensation is the most mis-diagnosed form of dampness in the UK, often resulting in customers paying for unnecessary damp proof courses.

Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp from defective roofs, gutters and down pipes, failed lead work or other common defects require investigation to determine the overall required remedial action.

A DPR fully qualified CSRT surveyor will carry out a survey in order to diagnose the full cause of your damp problem in Leeds and will only recommend the necessary treatments. If you have no problem then we will be honest and tell you.

At DPR we know that many other surveyors for other companies and bank/building society surveyors fail to diagnose damp problems correctly and instigate a new damp proof course where one is not required. This leads to upheaval and expense to the home owner. DPR will only install a damp proof course where it is required. If you have no need for specific work we will be honest and tell you.

It is important that the investigations into dampness are undertaken by a trained and competent surveyor who can recognise and understand the problem. Our surveyors have been fully trained and have the skills and experience needed to diagnose and repair buildings affected by damp.

Our installations are carried out in line with the highest quality standards and are covered by the most comprehensive guarantees available. We have regular vetting by trade and government associated bodies to ensure all works are running smoothly. All work is carried out in accordance with: BS6576:code of practice for diagnosis of rising damp in walls of buildings and installation of chemical damp proof courses.
