Damp Specialists in Glasgow You Can Trust
Not all damp problems are the same, which is why accurate diagnosis is critical. As experienced damp specialists in Glasgow, we carry out detailed inspections to understand the source, whether it’s rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation.
Whether your property is a new build or old Victorian sandstone, if your property is vulnerable to damp of any type we can help. Our Glasgow team specialises in installing new damp proofing courses and renewing older courses that are no longer effective. Our recommendations are practical and solution-led, ensuring you get the right treatment first time.
Damp Surveys and Expert Diagnosis
A professional damp survey in Glasgow is the first step to resolving the damp properly. Our surveyors assess moisture levels, building structure, and ventilation to pinpoint the root cause of dampness and rot.
We also assess whether other damp-related issues are affecting your property. Dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm are often found in properties with damp problems and can lead to wider structural issues if left unresolved. Our team can treat affected timber, conduct structural repairs where necessary, and even help with basement waterproofing in suitable properties.
We provide clear findings and next steps in our survey reports, so you can make informed decisions about your property.
Rising Damp Treatment in Glasgow
Rising damp can affect any type of building, but it tends to be most prominent in older properties. It happens when the bricks at the base of the wall draw the moisture from the ground, which moves up the walls via capillary action.
A damp-proof course is used to stop this happening, but if it has not been installed correctly or has become damaged over time, moisture can break through, leading to rising damp.
Our damp proofing services in Glasgow are designed to deliver long-term protection. This may include installing new damp proof courses, treating affected walls, or addressing moisture sources to prevent recurrence. Every solution is tailored to your property, ensuring lasting results and peace of mind.
Whilst we often have same-week availability in Glasgow, it can be dependant on demand. Call 0113 208 9146 to speak to us and find the earliest survey appointment that works for you.
Of course – no matter if you are in the dead centre of Glasgow, or outside the city entirely, our team are going to be able to help. We cover almost all of Scotland, so if you need a survey just get in touch!
