Treatment Strategies for Rising Damp from Doctor Damp

There are three primary strategies for tackling the most common causes of rising damp:

Surface water: preventing rain water runoff from gathering under the building (e.g. digging drains, building walls, earth excavation works)

Ground water: reducing moisture levels in the underfloor space (e.g.installing well designed mechanical ventilation)

Structural damp: installing a moisture barrier (e.g. installing underfloor insulation, installing/ relacing damp courses inside porous building foundation materials, restumping)

Using a combination of the three strategies is sometimes necessary to ameliorate the worst effects of rising damp.

A well designed and installed underfloor ventilation system can help eradicate rising damp by removing stale moisture-laden air that can penetrate through gaps, vents and building materials into internal living spaces.

Doctor Damp consultants have been trained to recognise when underfloor ventilation can help reduce the incidence of rising damp by removing excessive sub floor moisture.

Doctor damp technicians are qualified to install and service sub floor ventilation systems that target and remove ground moisture from under raised floors; moisture that could otherwise make its way into the building above.

By properly ventilating the sub-floor area using a network of correctly sized and placed fans and ducts, Doctor Damp will reduce the amount of moisture accumulating under the floor. As moisture is removed, so are unwelcome stale odours.
