The Professional Choice
Rising Damp & Lateral Damp
Damp Proofing assessments to domestic and commercial buildings is undertaken by a trained professional using an electronic moisture meter or a thermal imaging camera. Damp Proofing needs to be undertaken when excess moisture travels to the external or internal surface of a wall damaging paint, plaster, and or brickwork. Rising damp occurs when a wall above the ground shows signs of damp. Typical treatment of an affected wall will involve removing damp damaged plaster, injection of a chemical damp course using an injection machine, applying a latex slurry to the exposed wall and re-plastering using a damp proof plaster. Lateral damp occurs when a wall supporting/retaining soil shows signs of damp on the exposed side of the wall. Typical treatment of an affected wall will involve removing damp damaged plaster, injection of a chemical damp course using an injection machine, applying a latex slurry to the exposed wall and re-plaster using damp proof plaster. Damp King’s damp proofing specialists has been damp proofing walls successfully for over 20 years. Damp King has been manufacturing damp proofing products since 1997.

I just want to express how pleased I am that Damp King, is doing the damp-proofing of our new building. I used another company about 12 years ago, but they just coated the face brick with a sealant that wore off quite quickly and definitely did not do anything to stop the rising damp problem.

We used three different companies over a space of about five years, trying to rectify our damp problem.We ended up losing a lot of money.We then found a board advertising Damp King, and we had nothing to lose and we gave them a try. That was around seven years ago, and the problem is solved.
