Weybridge Rising Damp Project – Gallery 4

Overview of the Damp Problem

This Weybridge property was suffering from persistent rising damp affecting multiple internal walls. Moisture had been travelling upward from ground level, causing visible damage and ongoing deterioration to internal finishes.

The absence of an effective damp proof course allowed water and salts to penetrate the wall structure, creating a typical rising damp scenario found in many Surrey homes.

Condition Before Treatment

Prior to remedial work, the property displayed several clear warning signs of rising damp. These issues were progressively worsening and required professional intervention.

• Low-level damp staining and tide marks
• Breakdown of plaster and decorative finishes
• Salt contamination within wall surfaces
• Damaged skirting boards and joinery

Professional Damp Proofing Solution

Atruss Preservation carried out a full damp proofing system designed to eliminate the rising damp issue at its source. A new chemical damp proof course (DPC) was installed to create a long-lasting moisture barrier.

All affected plaster was removed due to salt contamination, and the walls were treated with a specialist waterproof render system to prevent future moisture ingress.

Finished Results

Following completion, the property was fully protected against rising damp. Internal walls were restored to a clean, dry condition and prepared for final decoration.

This project highlights the importance of expert diagnosis and the use of proven damp proofing systems to ensure long-term protection.
