Damp in buildings describes the presence of moisture within the structure of a building. This can be caused by outside sources or by condensation within the building.
The leading causes of structural dampness are condensation, rain and rising dampness. However, while these are the three leading causes, we would always ascertain that no plumbing or rainwater pipe leakage has occurred.


Rising damp is the action of water moving vertically through porous building material in contact with the ground. This is brought about by the drying action of air on the upper surfaces, which causes the wall to act as a wick, drawing water upwards from the ground by capillary action, which then evaporates from the surface into the atmosphere.
The moisture will continue rising until it reaches a height where, unless no evaporation is possible, gravity pulls it down again.


At Damp-Tech, We have many years of experience in the treatment and prevention of Dry Rot.
Dry Rot the Dangers
Special care must be taken with Dry Rot as this has the ability to travel through to other building materials, i.e. Brick and Mortar- unlike other forms of fungal wet rot.
Curing Dry Rot for over 26 Years.


Damp-Tech employs several methods for the treatment of Wet Rot
Wet Rot
Wet Rot, also known as cellar fungus, if left unattended, will destroy the internal fabric of timber.
The remedy for this form of rot is by applying a fungicidal paste applied to the surface or, in the case of bigger timbers, injecting it into the centre wood.
Damp-Tech for all your Wet Rot problems.


At Damp-Tech, We have many years of experience in the treatment and prevention of Wood Worm.
Wood Worm
Wood-boring insects such as the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium Punctatum) and Wood Boring Weevil (Euophryum Confine) are often gathered under the generic term "woodworm."
Amongst the many other species of insects that attack structural timber, the Wood wood-boring weevil is the most common.

Dan did some work for me last week and I have to say what a top bloke, from start to finish he was a total professional and the standard of work was excellent and not to mention very tidy.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Damp Tech again.

From the very first contact with Dan, the service has been brilliant. Dan has always communicated with us throughout the process.
During the work inside the property, everything has been kept so clean neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Damp-Tech.

Customer Review
From initial contact to completion of works recently carried out in my home.
Dan and his Son Dan Jnr presented as professional, prompt, efficient and meticulous in carrying out work at all times.
I was most impressed with the way Dan talked me through the whole process; Identifying what needed doing, how he was going to do it and most importantly, why.
I was given a price for the work and a detailed list of costings, so there were no hidden costs.
The Quality of the work was excellent, and I cannot recommend DAMPtech highly enough.
