At Shield Preservation, we specialise in diagnosing and treating rising damp in homes and businesses across Birmingham. If you’ve noticed damp patches, peeling paint, or a musty smell in your property, rising damp could be the cause. Our expert team provides effective, long-lasting solutions to protect your building from moisture damage.

What Is Rising Damp?

Rising damp occurs when groundwater seeps up through the walls of a building due to capillary action. This can lead to staining, plaster deterioration, and even structural issues if left untreated. Older buildings and properties with damaged or missing damp-proof courses (DPCs) are particularly vulnerable.

Signs of Rising Damp

Early detection is key to preventing serious damage. Common signs of rising damp include:

Tide marks or staining on walls, usually up to one metre high
Peeling wallpaper or paint due to moisture build-up
Crumbly or flaky plaster that feels damp to the touch
Musty odours caused by excessive moisture
Salt deposits forming on internal walls

Our Rising Damp Treatment Services

At Shield Preservation, we offer a comprehensive approach to tackling rising damp in Birmingham properties. Our services include:

Professional Damp Surveys

Our specialists conduct detailed damp assessments to determine the extent of the issue and recommend the most effective treatment. We use advanced moisture detection techniques to ensure accurate diagnosis.

Damp-Proof Course Installation

A damp-proof course (DPC) is essential for preventing moisture from rising up your walls. We offer chemical DPC injections that create an effective barrier against rising damp, as well as traditional physical DPC installations for long-term protection.

Replastering & Restoration

Rising damp can cause significant damage to your internal walls. After treating the damp, we provide specialist replastering using salt-resistant materials to prevent further issues and restore your home’s appearance.
