Signs of rising damp in Warrington homes
In Warrington the classic giveaways are a damp band running along the bottom of the wall, blackened or rotten timber skirtings, lifting wallpaper, and an earthy smell that won't shift no matter how often you ventilate.

Why Warrington properties are prone to rising damp
We treat solid-wall cottages, cavity-wall semis and converted period properties throughout Warrington. Each construction type fails in its own way, which is why a "one solution fits all" approach doesn't work for damp.
How we treat it
Treating rising damp in Warrington
Our standard treatment for verified rising damp in Warrington combines a chemical DPC injection with replastering using a renovating plaster system, leaving the wall ready to redecorate after a sensible drying period.
