Rising and Penetrating damp treatments
Get Damp Proofing provides solutions for both rising and penetrating damp, ensuring your property is free from structural damage and long-term moistures. We use the best practices in the industry while tailoring our approach to each case so that your home or office remains dry, safe, and structurally sound.
Rising damp results from water moving up from the ground through the brickwork, destroying plaster, paint, and internal finishes. Penetrating damp, on the contrary, happens because water gets into the building due to external causes, including cracked walls, faulty render, or leaking gutters. Both have the potential to cause mould, rot, and extensive property damage if they are not treated.
Our experienced team identifies the exact source of the problem through detailed inspections and delivers precise treatments—ranging from damp proofing membranes and DPC injections to external waterproof coatings and masonry repairs. Every solution is designed to stop damp at the source and protect your property for years to come.

Rising damp shows at ground level, presenting itself as tide marks, damp patches, or peeling plaster. Damp stains may be observed on ceilings or walls from penetrating damp, which can develop at any height, and these can occur during or after rain.
Penetrating damp is usually caused by external defects, like cracked render, or damaged brickwork, or damaged flashing or leaking gutters and downpipes. It allows rainwater or moisture to penetrate directly into walls or roofs.

This depends on the source of the damp. Penetrating damp often requires external repairs, such as wall coatings or masonry sealing, while rising damp is usually treated internally through DPC injection or damp-resistant plastering. We provide a full assessment and plan accordingly.
