Rising Damp Solutions Across The North

Rising damp is typically resolved by installing a silicone based damp proof course into the affected walls. This forms a durable barrier that prevents moisture from the ground rising through the masonry and causing damage to internal plaster, skirting boards, and decorative finishes.

Across The North, many homes already have a damp proof course in place, but problems often occur when older systems deteriorate over time, were incorrectly installed, or when external ground levels have been increased above the original protection line.

All rising damp treatments carried out by Home Energy Save GB are supported by a 25 year guarantee.

What to Expect From Our FREE Damp Survey

A visit from one of our qualified surveyors allows a detailed assessment of the damp issues affecting your home anywhere across The North. The inspection focuses on identifying the source of moisture and understanding how and why the problem has developed, ensuring any recommended treatment tackles the underlying cause rather than providing a short term solution.

Once the survey is complete, you will receive clear guidance on the most appropriate next steps for your property. This may involve the careful removal of damaged materials, installing a waterproof membrane to support effective drying, and completing repairs to external defects such as worn brickwork, failing pointing, or faults within the roof structure.

Why are homes in The North more prone to damp problems?

Homes across The North often experience higher rainfall levels, cooler temperatures, and longer periods of moisture retention, all of which increase the risk of damp and condensation. Many northern properties are also older, with solid walls, ageing brickwork, and limited ventilation. These factors allow moisture to build up internally if not properly managed. A professional damp assessment helps identify the exact cause and prevent further damage.

Damp can originate externally through walls or roofing, or internally from condensation and poor airflow. External damp often shows as isolated patches or staining, while internal condensation tends to appear around windows, corners, and colder surfaces. At Home Energy Save GB, our free damp surveys across The North allow us to pinpoint the source accurately and recommend the correct treatment rather than guessing.

Older properties across The North often require specialist knowledge due to solid walls, traditional construction methods, and historic alterations. Damp proofing is still highly effective when correctly tailored to the building. Home Energy Save GB has over 40 years of experience working with older northern housing, ensuring treatments are suitable for the structure rather than using one size fits all solutions.

If you notice recurring mould, damp smells, or discoloured patches, a survey is always worthwhile. Many damp issues develop slowly and are not immediately obvious. Home Energy Save GB provides free damp surveys across The North to help homeowners gain clarity before problems worsen.
