Correct diagnosis comes first
Find the cause of damp before choosing the treatment
Damp can be caused by a failed or bridged DPC, high external ground levels, leaking rainwater goods, defective pointing, condensation or water entering below ground. Atruss Preservation inspects the visible symptoms and the surrounding construction before recommending work.
Where remedial work is needed, you receive a clear explanation of the proposed treatment and a written quotation. The aim is a proportionate repair—not unnecessary work.
