Rising Damp Solutions In Newcastle-under-Lyme
Rising damp is usually treated by injecting a silicone based damp proof course into the affected walls. Where necessary, damaged plaster is removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity wall membrane to better control moisture.
While most homes in Newcastle-under-Lyme already have a damp proof course, problems can still arise if it was incorrectly installed, has deteriorated over time, or if external ground levels are too high, allowing moisture to pass above the barrier.
All of our rising damp treatments are supplied with a 25 year guarantee, providing dependable long term protection for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes damp in homes in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Damp in homes across Newcastle-under-Lyme is often caused by rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. Older properties can be more affected due to ageing damp-proof courses or solid wall construction. External issues such as high ground levels, damaged brickwork, or faulty gutters can also allow moisture to enter. At Home Energy Save GB, we offer free damp surveys to identify the exact cause before recommending any treatment.
How can I tell if my home has rising damp?
Rising damp usually appears as tide marks on lower walls, crumbling plaster, or a white powdery residue on surfaces. Skirting boards may also rot or feel soft. These signs are common in older homes in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where damp proof courses have failed or been bridged. Home Energy Save GB provides free damp surveys to confirm whether rising damp is present and advise on the correct solution.
Is damp proofing necessary for older properties in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Many older homes in Newcastle-under-Lyme either lack a modern damp-proof course or have one that has broken down over time. Without effective protection, moisture can travel through walls and cause long-term damage. Damp proofing helps protect the structure of the building and improve living conditions. At Home Energy Save GB, we assess each property individually through our free damp survey before recommending any work.
Can damp cause mould growth in my home?
Yes, damp conditions create an environment where mould can develop, particularly in poorly ventilated areas. Mould is often linked to condensation, but can also result from rising or penetrating damp. In homes across Newcastle-under-Lyme, mould can affect air quality and damage surfaces. Home Energy Save GB offers free damp surveys to identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate damp proofing solutions.
Are damp problems common in Newcastle-under-Lyme homes?
Yes, damp issues are fairly common in Newcastle-under-Lyme, particularly in older housing stock and properties exposed to heavy rainfall. Factors such as ground levels, construction type, and maintenance can all contribute.
