Professional damp treatment for rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation problems. We address damp at its source using appropriate treatment methods for lasting results and property protection.
Damp treatment services across Exeter and Devon. Once damp sources are identified (through investigation or obvious causes), we apply effective treatments to eliminate moisture problems and prevent recurrence.
We use appropriate methods for each damp type - chemical damp proof courses for rising damp, tanking for below-ground moisture, render repairs for penetrating damp, and ventilation improvements for condensation. All work targets the root cause rather than just covering symptoms.
| Damp Type | Typical Treatment | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Rising damp | Chemical DPC injection | 1-2 days |
| Penetrating damp | External repairs, repointing | 1-3 days |
| Condensation | Ventilation, insulation | 1 day |
| Cellar/basement damp | Tanking system | 2-4 days |
Treatment costs vary significantly based on area size and methods needed. We provide detailed quotes explaining all work and materials.
Fully insured service covering Exeter and a 30-mile radius.

🔧 DIY Tips
Address the source - Don't just treat damp symptoms. If gutters are leaking onto walls, fix gutters first. If ground levels are too high, lower them before treating rising damp.
Ventilation helps - Condensation damp improves dramatically with better ventilation. Open windows regularly, use extractor fans, and avoid drying clothes indoors without ventilation.
Let it dry - Don't rush redecoration after damp treatment. Walls need time to dry out thoroughly. Decorating too soon traps moisture and causes treatment failure.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Not all damp needs expensive treatment. Sometimes simple repairs - fixing gutters, repointing small areas, improving ventilation - solve damp problems completely. We assess whether you need full treatment or if targeted repairs will work. We'll always recommend the most cost-effective lasting solution.
