Comprehensive Damp Proofing Services in Blackpool
Our process began with a free damp survey, conducted by our highly experienced surveyor. This thorough inspection identified the root causes of the damp issues, including a failed Damp Proof Course, salt contamination, and wet rot affecting the property’s structural integrity. These problems are common in Blackpool homes due to the region’s coastal climate, which increases the risk of penetrating damp and rising damp.
Our Expert Damp Proofing Process
Our skilled operatives took immediate action to resolve the issues with precision and care:
- Wet Rot Treatment: We replaced damaged joists, installed enhanced subfloor ventilation, and repaired the flooring to restore structural stability.
- Salt Contamination Removal: We carefully removed defective plasterwork to eliminate damp and contaminated materials.
- Advanced Damp Proofing Solution: We installed a high-quality polypropylene studded membrane, a proven barrier against moisture ingress, ensuring long-term protection against dampness.
- Wall Restoration: We applied plasterboard with adhesive dabs and finished with a smooth skim coat, leaving the walls in pristine condition.
Our team ensured minimal disruption, leaving the property clean and tidy upon completion. At Lancashire Damp Proofing, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional damp proofing solutions with a focus on customer satisfaction.
