Rising Damp

Rising damp is caused when surrounding clays and soils are absorbed into the masonry components of a building’s structure by capillary action. In other words, rising damp is the technical term to describe the movement of moisture from the ground into the walls. Similarly the movement of moisture to a sponge soaking up water.

Overall, the level to which the damp rises is determined by the effectiveness of any original damp proof course. Equally, the volume of the water supply, evaporative conditions over the wall surface, and humidity.

The term rising damp is generally used when dampness appears above the floor or skirting board level of the property. Subsequently, this causes damage to brickwork, mortar joints, plaster and paintwork or wall coverings. However in most cases this is attributed to the lack of or failure of the building’s damp-proof course.

I cannot speak highly enough of the company.
I cannot speak highly enough of the company. I initially used them for some minor damp issues in my own property. Their service was outstanding and the quality of work was excellent. I subsequently recommended them to my elderly parents who had been struggling with mould and rising damp accumulation over the years. The team worked diligently to resolve the issues, ensuring that they were completely eradicated.
The staff were professional and friendly, delivering a high standard of workmanship. My parents were thrilled with the outcome and the level of service provided. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the team for the exceptional work they completed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who requires damp proofing services. Big or small.

DINING ROOM DAMP PROBLEM SOLVED
I have recently used TTDP for the second time and can highly recommend them. The first occasion, in August 2022, was to remedy poor quality work carried out by a builder - their quality andeffectiveness was first class and solved all of the problems.
As a result I had no hesitation in requesting a quotation for addressing a separate damp issue in another room. In addition, as I have full confidence in their technique and materials, I did not bother to acquire an alternative quote. Once again the work has been carried out to a very high standard. Communication with the surveyor and office staff is always quick, easy and courteous with any queries answered straight away.
With an extensive warranty and what I would consider to be a reasonable cost, and therefore value for money, I would not hesitate to use TTDP again if needed.

A very efficient service and I would not hesitate in recommending the firm
I had a small amount of rising damp in the kitchen/dining room. The surveyor from Tyne Tees was excellent and explained exactly what work needed to be done to solve the problem. This was later followed up by a very informative written report. The worker who arrived worked very hard and completed the job on time to my complete satisfaction. He did a thorough job of tidying up and took away all of the rubbish created. A follow up phone call a few days later was much appreciated. A very efficient service and I would not hesitate in recommending the firm.
