What Causes Damp Walls?

Wall damp occurs when excess moisture gets into your property. Common causes are:

  1. Rising Damp

    • Caused by groundwater rising up through porous building materials like brick or stone.

    • Often due to a failed or non-existent damp-proof course (DPC).

  2. Penetrating Damp

    • Caused by water entering through external walls, roofs or windows.

    • Often due to damaged brickwork, faulty gutters or leaks.

Why Is Wall Damp a Problem?

Unchecked damp can cause:

  • Structural Damage: Weaken walls, plaster and timber, leading to costly repairs.

  • Health Issues: Mold growth which can cause respiratory problems and allergies.

  • Aesthetic Issues: Unpleasant stains, peeling paint and warped walls which can devalue your home.

How Much Does Damp Treatment Cost?

  • The cost of treating wall damp depends on the severity and type of damp. Here’s a rough guide:

    • Rising Damp: £500-£2,000 depending on the size of the area and whether a new DPC is needed.

    • Penetrating Damp: £500-£3,000 depending on the extent of repairs (e.g. fixing leaks, repairing brickwork).

    • Condensation Solutions: £200-£1,000 typically involving ventilation improvements or dehumidifiers.
