The Challenge
A Victorian property in Shrewsbury was showing clear signs of moisture damage. The homeowner noticed tide marks, peeling plaster, and a persistent musty odour at the base of the ground floor walls. Left untreated, the damp risked causing further structural damage and creating an unhealthy living environment.
Our Inspection
Our qualified surveyor carried out a detailed damp inspection to identify the root causes. Rising damp was confirmed as the main issue, alongside areas of condensation where ventilation was poor. These combined problems were worsening the appearance and condition of the property.
The Solution
To restore and protect the home, we implemented a tailored damp proofing plan:
-
Specialist Damp Survey – Full moisture readings and salt analysis to pinpoint the spread of damp.
-
New Damp Proof Course – Installation of an effective barrier to stop further rising damp from the ground.
-
Replastering & Finishing – Removal of contaminated plaster and application of a salt-resistant system for a long-lasting finish.
-
Ventilation Improvements – Advice and practical measures to help the homeowner reduce condensation build-up.
The Results
Once the work was completed, the property quickly began to dry out. The damp patches and musty smell disappeared, and the homeowner could redecorate with confidence knowing their walls were properly protected.
Client Feedback
