The post Damp Proofing Solutions in Blackpool: Resolving Damp Proof Course Failure, Penetrating Dampness, and Wet Rot appeared first on Lancashire Damp Proofing.

At Lancashire Damp Proofing, we recently completed a successful domestic project in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, where we treated significant salt contamination in a client’s property. During our free damp survey, our experienced surveyor discovered the issue was not due to damp proof course failure, but rather caused by salt migration—a common problem in older homes where groundwater salts travel through porous building materials and deposit on interior surfaces.

This type of contamination can look similar to rising damp, making a proper diagnosis essential. If left untreated, it can lead to recurring issues such as flaking paint, crumbling plaster, and a musty smell, all of which impact both the comfort and value of a property.

Our team of skilled operatives took swift action to address the issue. The first step involved the full removal of contaminated plaster to eliminate any residual salts. We then installed a high-grade polypropylene studded membrane—a breathable yet waterproof barrier designed to prevent moisture ingress and future contamination. This membrane also allows walls to dry out naturally behind the surface.

To complete the job, we applied plasterboard with adhesive dabs, ensuring a smooth finish before skimming the walls to restore a clean and modern appearance. Throughout the process, our team worked efficiently, with minimal disruption to the homeowner. On completion, we made sure the property was left clean and tidy.

At Lancashire Damp Proofing, we pride ourselves on delivering long-lasting solutions with exceptional attention to detail. If you’re noticing persistent damp patches, peeling wallpaper, or a white powdery residue on your walls, it could be salt contamination. Our free surveys are available to homeowners in Poulton-le-Fylde and surrounding Lancashire areas.

The post Damp Proof Course Failure – Lancaster appeared first on Lancashire Damp Proofing.

At Lancashire Damp Proofing, we were recently called to assess a domestic property in Carleton, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. Our free damp survey revealed a rare but serious case of wet rot affecting the subfloor of a 1960s bungalow. In addition, salt contamination had impacted the surrounding plasterwork—an unusual occurrence for a property of this era.

Following a thorough investigation, we traced the source of the issue to a leaking 22mm copper pipe beneath the floor. The pipe had been poorly isolated and had been leaking for approximately three years, allowing moisture to build up undetected. This prolonged exposure to moisture created the perfect conditions for wet rot to thrive and for salts to migrate through the walls.

Our expert team acted quickly to resolve the issue. We began by removing all affected flooring and joists, as well as the damaged plasterwork. The faulty pipe was properly isolated to prevent any further leaks. The subfloor area was then thoroughly cleaned and treated, and we installed pre-treated timber to ensure long-term durability and protection against future rot.

To complete the repairs, we fitted a polypropylene membrane to the internal walls to prevent further moisture ingress. The walls were then plasterboarded and skimmed to restore a clean, modern finish. As always, our team left the site in a clean and tidy condition, and the client was fully satisfied with the outcome.
