Causes – Damp Proof Course Failure & Salt Contamination
Location – Lytham, St Annes
Client – Domestic.
Completed – November 2024
At Lancashire Damp Proofing, we were recently called to inspect a domestic property in Lytham, St Annes due to ongoing issues with damp on a party wall. Our experienced surveyor promptly attended and, during the initial free survey, confirmed that the property was suffering from a failed damp proof course combined with salt contamination—a common cause of internal damp patches and flaking plaster.
The client received a full written report on the same day as the inspection, detailing the findings and recommended solution. After reviewing the report, the client approved the works immediately and we scheduled the job for October 2024.
Our team completed the full remedial works in just one day. This involved the removal of affected plasterwork, injection of a new chemical damp proof course, and installation of a high-quality polypropylene membrane to protect against future moisture ingress. The wall was then plasterboarded and skimmed, restoring a clean and dry finish to the interior.
As standard, we issued the client with a 10-year guarantee for the damp proof course—delivered both electronically and by post for their records. The work was carried out efficiently and professionally, with minimal disruption to the household.
If you’re experiencing persistent damp issues, tide marks, peeling paint, or white powdery deposits on your walls, it could be a sign of damp proof course failure or salt contamination.
