RISING DAMP TREATMENT NEWCASTLE
Moisture Mend provides specialist rising damp treatment in Newcastle and surrounding areas for properties affected by moisture travelling upwards through walls and masonry. We identify the extent of the damp before providing an appropriate treatment designed to address the problem and protect affected areas.
RISING DAMP TREATMENT SERVICES IN NEWCASTLE
Rising damp can affect the lower sections of internal walls, causing persistent moisture and deterioration to plaster and decorative finishes. Moisture Mend provides professional damp proofing solutions across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland and Sunderland, with treatment selected according to the property and condition of the affected walls.
RISING DAMP DIAGNOSIS
Correctly identifying the moisture problem is an important first step. Our Damp Surveys can investigate the location, extent and signs of moisture to help establish whether rising damp or another form of damp is affecting the property before treatment begins.
DAMP PROOF COURSE TREATMENT
Where an inadequate or ineffective damp proof course is contributing to rising moisture, an appropriate Damp Proof Course Installation or remedial DPC system can be used to provide a barrier against moisture travelling upwards through the masonry.
DAMP-DAMAGED WALL REPAIRS
Rising damp can leave plaster and internal finishes damaged even after the moisture problem has been addressed. Our Damp Plaster Repairs and associated plastering, re-skimming and rendering services can help reinstate affected walls following treatment.
TREATING RISING DAMP AT ITS SOURCE
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels upwards through porous building materials. The visible signs commonly develop around the lower sections of walls, but the extent and cause of the moisture should be properly considered before deciding on the appropriate damp proofing work.
Moisture Mend takes a problem-led approach to rising damp treatment. Depending on the property and findings, appropriate work can include remedial damp proof course systems, injections, moisture barriers and associated removal and replacement of damp-affected plaster where required.
10-YEAR WARRANTY
Damp works are backed by the 10-year warranty promoted by Moisture Mend.
TREATMENT & REINSTATEMENT
Where rising damp has damaged internal finishes, appropriate treatment can be followed by plaster repairs, re-skimming or rendering to restore affected areas.

RISING DAMP TREATMENT NEWCASTLE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common questions about rising damp treatment in Newcastle, including symptoms, damp proof courses, wall repairs and the areas Moisture Mend covers.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS OF RISING DAMP?
Possible signs include persistent dampness around the lower sections of walls, damaged or deteriorating plaster, peeling decorative finishes and musty smells. Similar symptoms can sometimes have other causes, so diagnosis is important before treatment.
WHAT CAUSES RISING DAMP?
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels upwards through porous masonry. Problems can arise where a damp proof course is absent, inadequate or no longer providing effective protection against rising moisture.
HOW DO YOU TREAT RISING DAMP?
The appropriate treatment depends on the property and extent of the problem. Moisture Mend can use suitable damp proof course systems, injections, moisture barriers and associated remedial work where required.
WILL I NEED A NEW DAMP PROOF COURSE?
Not every damp problem requires a new DPC. Where rising moisture is linked to an inadequate or ineffective damp proof course, an appropriate remedial DPC or injection system may be recommended after the problem has been assessed.

Yes. Rising damp can damage plaster and internal wall finishes. Moisture Mend provides associated damp plaster repairs, re-skimming and rendering where required after the moisture problem has been treated.
