Damp Proofing Solutions
Damp can present in different ways depending on the cause. Common issues we deal with include rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation-related problems.
Damp proofing treatments are tailored to the property and the type of issue identified. This may include installing a damp proof course, improving ventilation, or addressing external defects.
Our focus is always on resolving the root cause, not just the visible symptoms.
Damp Surveys in Yeovil
A damp survey is the first step in resolving any issue. Our surveyors assess moisture levels, inspect affected areas, and identify the underlying cause. Each type of damp requires a specific approach, which is why a detailed survey is essential before any work begins.
Our Yeovil damp surveyors will audit both the interior and exterior areas of the building, detailing the type of damp problem, the cause, and measures you can take to resolve it. You’ll receive a clear report with practical recommendations, ensuring you understand exactly what work is needed and why.

We offer a full range of damp and timber solutions in Yeovil, including:
