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 Shrewsbury
Rising damp is usually treated by injecting a high performance, silicone based damp proof course into the affected walls to create a new moisture barrier.
Although many properties in Shrewsbury already have a damp proof course installed, problems can still arise if it has deteriorated over time, was incorrectly fitted, or if external ground levels have been raised and are allowing moisture to bridge the original barrier.
All of our rising damp treatments are backed by a 25 year guarantee, giving homeowners in Shrewsbury long term reassurance and dependable protection.

What are the signs of damp in a home in Shrewsbury?
Common signs include tide marks on walls, peeling wallpaper, flaking paint, mould growth and a persistent musty smell. In Shrewsbury, we often see damp affecting older properties with solid brick walls, particularly during prolonged wet weather. You may also notice cold or damp patches at low level. If you are unsure, our team at Home Energy Save GB can carry out a detailed survey to identify the type and cause of damp.
How do I know if I have rising damp?
Rising damp typically shows as staining or tide marks up to one metre above floor level, along with crumbling plaster and salt deposits on walls. Skirting boards may also begin to rot. In Shrewsbury homes, especially period properties, original damp proof courses can deteriorate over time. We conduct thorough inspections to confirm whether moisture is rising from the ground or if another issue is responsible before recommending treatment.
What causes penetrating damp in Shrewsbury properties?
Penetrating damp is usually caused by defects that allow rainwater to enter the building fabric. This may include cracked brickwork, damaged pointing, faulty guttering or slipped roof tiles. Shrewsbury’s regular rainfall can make these issues more noticeable. During our survey, we carefully examine both internal and external areas of your home to locate the exact entry point and recommend targeted repairs and protective treatments.
How much does damp proofing cost in Shrewsbury?
Costs vary depending on the type of damp, the extent of damage and the size of the affected area. Rising damp treatments differ from penetrating damp repairs, and additional plastering may be required. Following a free survey, we provide a clear written quotation with no obligation. Our aim is to offer transparent pricing and long term value for homeowners across Shrewsbury.
Will damp proofing cause disruption in my home?
Some disruption is unavoidable, particularly if plaster needs to be removed and replaced. However, we take care to protect floors and furnishings and keep work areas tidy. Most projects are completed quickly and with minimal inconvenience. We explain each stage before starting so you understand what will happen and how long it will take.
