Penetrating and rising dampness can cause damage to internal walls and leave your home unusable. Our damp proofing services includes tanking, which can return your room to its former glory. Reclaim your room with BWT South East Ltd and gain a new bedroom, games room or storage space.
Damp Proofing can help fight symptoms including:
- Ingress of water
- Damp staining
- Salt crystallization
- Plaster breakdown
- Decaying timber
Our surveyor will usually advise either a cementitious or high-density profiled membrane system be installed into your property, meaning damp penetration is either stopped or controlled through channels to prevent damage to your property.
