Damp proof injection quickly and costs effectively stops rising damp, which commonly happens to buildings as they age or deteriorate. When the existing DPC fails, this form of treatment is used in order to prevent moisture from seeping into the brickwork and causing problems.
Damp proof injection, also called wall injection damp proofing, is when a water-repellent DPC cream is injected into drilled holes of a property. The cream then quickly diffuses and cures to form a replacement for the affected area. This method is especially useful for walls that have been significantly saturated with water.
If you installed the damp-proof injection cream correctly, it will not only protect your property from rising damp in the present but also ensure that it does not return in future.
The primary purpose of using a damp-proof course injection is to erect a barrier against moisture. If the ground level outside your property exceeds the height of the damp-proof course, it’s called bridging and leads to rising dampness.
This innovative approach not only restores the structural integrity of the property but also significantly improves its thermal efficiency, promoting a healthier living environment. With a keen focus on sustainability and customer satisfaction, Green Home Developments guarantees long-lasting results that will safeguard your property and your investment for years to come.
One of the problems with rising damp, is that it can cause decorative finishes to appear damp and deteriorate over time. This is because salts are concentrated and water is absorbed from the air, which causes contamination.
Green Home Developments have a meticulous process for injecting remedial damp proof courses, to ensure the job is done properly:
To start, our team will get the area ready for treatment by prepping it from both the inside and outside before we begin injecting damp-proofing materials. This might include taking out plaster or any fittings like skirting boards or radiators to create an opening.
