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 Greater Manchester
Rising damp is typically treated by injecting a high performance silicone based damp proof course into the affected walls. Where required, any salt contaminated or damaged plaster is carefully removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity wall membrane system designed to control moisture effectively.
While many properties across Greater Manchester were originally built with a damp proof course, issues can still arise over time.
All of our rising damp treatments are backed by a 25 year guarantee, giving you long term, reliable protection for your property.

How do I know if my home in Greater Manchester needs damp proofing?
Common signs include damp patches on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, a musty smell and visible mould growth. In Greater Manchester, frequent rainfall and older housing stock can increase the likelihood of damp issues developing over time. At Home Energy Save GB, we carry out detailed surveys to identify the exact cause, whether it is rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation. This ensures you receive the right treatment rather than a temporary fix, helping to protect your property long term.
What causes damp in properties across Greater Manchester?
Damp can develop for several reasons, including failed damp proof courses, poor ventilation, leaking roofs or guttering, and high external ground levels. In Greater Manchester, weather conditions and older brickwork can make properties more vulnerable to moisture penetration. Our team focuses on identifying the root cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach ensures the solution we recommend is effective and reduces the likelihood of damp returning.
What happens during a damp proofing survey?
During a damp survey, one of our experienced surveyors will inspect your property using specialist equipment to detect moisture levels and pinpoint the source of the problem. We assess walls, floors, ventilation and external factors that may be contributing to damp. Following the inspection, we provide a clear, no obligation report with our findings and recommended solutions. This gives you a full understanding of the issue and what is needed to resolve it.
How long does damp proofing treatment take?
The time required depends on the type and severity of the damp issue. Some treatments, such as injecting a damp proof course, can be completed within a day, while more extensive work involving plaster removal and reinstatement may take several days. We always aim to minimise disruption to your home and provide a clear timeframe before starting work. Our team works efficiently while maintaining high standards to ensure a long lasting result.
Is damp proofing a permanent solution?
When carried out correctly and for the right type of damp, damp proofing can provide a long term solution. We use proven methods and high quality materials, and many of our treatments come with guarantees of up to 25 years. The key is ensuring the correct diagnosis from the start. By addressing the underlying cause, we help ensure the problem does not return and your home remains protected.
