Anything that adds moisture to the soil or stops it drying out can be a contributor to risng damp.
- No or failed damp proof course. (Common in older properties)
- Lack of sub floor ventilation.
- Rain water pooling under the house.
- Yard falling toward the house where the soil is nearly always damp.
- A plumbing leak or blocked drain in the vicinity of the house wall.
- A bridged damp proof course by render or similar.
We can fix the damp proof course and sub floor ventilation but you’ll need to use other trades for things like wall repair, water leaks, yard draining issues etc.
