Damp Proofing London South - Solution to All Your Damp and Timber Problems Lifecote Rising Dampness Systems.

Damp is usually found by the signs of a damp line appearing on the inside wall. This is often combined with damage to skirting board and decorations.



The result of this rising damp is structural damage to interior render- plaster systems. It should also be noted that recent findings by the asthma foundation concluded that damp rooms can increase the risk of developing asthma. Rising damp occurs when ground water is allowed to rise vertically through walls by capillary action and is caused by the breakdown of, bridging of, or non existence of, a damp proof course (DPC). Thus the dampness is rising through the actual mortar beds rather than through the brickwork itself.

Tanking systems are applied to either the positive pressure side or the negative pressure side of a substrate. Positive tanking pressure is achieved when the hydrostatic water pressure is pushing tanking onto the substrate. Negative tanking pressure is where the tanking system is applied to the other side of a wall and the hydrostatic water pressure will try to push the tanking of the substrate. Successful tanking on the negative side is difficult and requires a more comprehensive specification.
