What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing prevents moisture from entering your home through the walls, floors or roof. It typically uses materials like membranes or sealants to stop issues such as rising damp, condensation or water intrusion.
For homeowners, effective damp proofing protects the building’s structure, helps prevent damage to plaster and timber, and reduces the risk of mould.

Rising Damp Solutions In Burnley
Rising damp is usually treated by installing a silicone based damp proof course into the affected masonry. Where necessary, any contaminated plaster is carefully removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity wall membrane system designed to manage moisture effectively.
Although most properties in Burnley were built with a damp proof course, problems can still arise if it has deteriorated over time, was incorrectly installed, or if external ground levels have been raised and are allowing moisture to bridge the protective barrier.
Our remedial treatments are supported by a 25 year guarantee, providing dependable, long term protection for your Burnley home.

This may include removing damaged materials, installing a waterproof membrane to aid the drying process, and resolving external defects such as cracked brickwork, defective pointing or roof faults.

How do I know if my Burnley home has damp?
Common signs include peeling wallpaper, bubbling paint, musty smells, cold walls and visible tide marks. In Burnley, older terraced properties are particularly prone to damp due to ageing damp proof courses and high rainfall levels. We recommend a professional damp survey to accurately diagnose the issue. Our surveyors identify the exact cause rather than just treating visible symptoms, ensuring you receive the correct long term solution.
Is damp a common problem in homes in Burnley?
Yes, damp is relatively common in Burnley due to the local climate, frequent rainfall and the age of many properties. Victorian terraces and stone built homes can be especially vulnerable. Condensation, rising damp and penetrating damp are the most typical issues we encounter. At Home Energy Save GB, we carry out detailed surveys to determine the precise cause before recommending a tailored treatment plan.
How much does damp proofing cost in Burnley?
The cost depends on the type of damp, the severity and the size of the affected area. We always recommend a professional survey first so we can provide an accurate quotation. At Home Energy Save GB, our pricing reflects long term solutions rather than temporary fixes. Following your survey, you will receive a clear breakdown of recommended works and costs with no obligation to proceed.
Do you offer free damp surveys in Burnley?
Yes, we provide free damp proofing surveys for homeowners throughout Burnley. One of our qualified surveyors will inspect your property, assess the issue and explain their findings clearly. You will receive a detailed report outlining the cause of the damp and recommended treatment options. Our surveys are thorough and designed to give you confidence before making any decisions.
Is mould always caused by damp?
Mould is often linked to excess moisture, but the source may vary. It can be caused by condensation, rising damp or penetrating damp. In Burnley homes, poor ventilation combined with colder external temperatures can increase condensation risk. We investigate the underlying cause before recommending treatment, ensuring we tackle the root of the problem rather than simply removing visible mould.
