Damp Surveys
Expert Damp Surveys for Peace of Mind
Whether you are a homeowner noticing a new patch of damp or a prospective buyer
needing a pre-purchase report, a professional survey is the essential first step.
What to Expect Our specialist surveyors use advanced diagnostic equipment, including moisture meters and thermal imaging, to map out the extent of moisture within your property. We provide a detailed, jargon-free report outlining our findings and a clear plan for remediation.
Why Choose Kent Damp Specialist?
Independent Advice: We focus on the right solution for your specific property type
Advanced Technology: Non-invasive methods to protect your décor.
Comprehensive Reports: Valid for mortgage providers and insurance claims.
Damp Proofing
Comprehensive Damp Proofing Solutions for Kent Homes
Damp can compromise the structural integrity of your building and ruin your interior finishes.
Our damp proofing services are designed to create an impenetrable barrier
between your living space and the elements
Our Solutions: Every property is unique, especially in a county with such diverse architecture as Kent. We offer a range of modern damp proofing techniques:
Damp Proof Course (DPC) Injection: Creating a chemical barrier to stop water migration.
Tanking Systems: Applying waterproof membranes or coatings to basement walls and sub-floor areas.
Replastering: Using specialist salt-neutralising plasters to ensure a clean, dry finish.
Rising Damp
Specialist Treatment for Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when ground water travels upwards through masonry via capillary action. If you notice "tide marks" on your wallpaper, peeling paint, or rotting skirting boards, you may have a failed or non-existent damp proof course.
Effective Remediation We specialise in the installation of high-quality DPC injections that prevent moisture from climbing further. Our team ensures that all affected plasterwork is removed and replaced according to industry standards, preventing hygroscopic salts from continuing to attract moisture from the air.
Long-Term Protection All our rising damp treatments come with a long-term guarantee, ensuring your home remains a dry and healthy environment for years to come.
Penetrating Damp Solutions
Penetrating damp is often the result of structural defects. Our team focuses on identifying the specific entry point of the moisture to provide a permanent fix rather than a temporary cover-up.
External Defects: Including perished mortar (pointing), cracked masonry, or blocked guttering.
Porous Building Materials: Applying breathable, silane-based water repellents to exterior brickwork.Bullet List 3.
Window and Door Surrounds: Resealing gaps where driving rain can bypass the primary barrier.
Timber Treatment: Rot and Infestation
Moisture and timber are a dangerous combination. We provide specialist treatments to eradicate fungal growth and insect attacks, ensuring your floor joists, roof timbers, and staircases remain solid.
Dry Rot and Wet Rot
Fungal decay can spread rapidly through a building. Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans) is particularly aggressive, as it can travel through masonry to reach new timber sources. Wet Rot is more localised but equally destructive to the wood it inhabits.
Our Process: We remove affected timber, sterilise the surrounding areas with fungicidal masonry treatments, and replace the wood with pre-treated, high-quality timber.
Woodworm Infestation
Small flight holes or piles of fine "frass" (dust) are often the first signs of a woodworm problem. We treat infestations of the Common Furniture Beetle, Deathwatch Beetle, and House Longhorn Beetle using low-odour, water-based insecticides that provide long-term protection against re-infestation.
Why Choose a Combined Approach?
At Kent Damp Specialist, we understand that damp and timber issues are inextricably linked. By treating both the source of the moisture and the resulting damage to your woodwork simultaneously, we offer a comprehensive service that saves you time, money, and the stress of dealing with multiple contractors.
All our timber treatments are backed by a long-term guarantee, providing you with total
confidence in the health of your property.
