Is your damp proof course bridged? If it is this video will show you can identify what’s going on when it come to a bridged dpc

Before you even instruct a damp surveyor you need to watch this video. This will give you all the tips you need to know and most importantly what questions to ask before you pay for a damp survey. A bridged damp proof course, or commonly known as a bridged dpc is such a common cause of rising damp symptoms, but is often mis-diagnosed and the repairs offered might not fix your issue. I tend to find though that when this bridging visible symptoms occur, it is normally because of a leak or a drain defect. The number 1 cause of rising damp is defective drains!

My damp investigations are invasive, and we get to the root cause of the issues, using CCTV drain cameras, acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, gravimetric and hygroscopic salt analysis (BRE DIGEST 245). If you need damp repairs we carry out patch drain repairs, CIPP drain lining, mains water repairs, plumbing leaks, lowering high ground levels, traditional hot lime lime plastering and hot lime re-pointing.
