DAMP PROOFING – Fresh Breeze Home

What is Damp Proofing?

Damp proofing is a specialised treatment that prevents dampness from rising into your home through walls, floors, and foundations. Our team uses advanced materials and techniques to create an impenetrable barrier against dampness, ensuring your home remains dry and comfortable.
At Fresh Breeze Home, we specialize in effective damp proofing solutions to protect your property from rising damp and related issues. Rising damp occurs when moisture travels up through walls due to the absence of an effective damp proof course (DPC) or when damp proofing was omitted during earlier construction or renovation.

How Is a Damp Proof Course Installed?

Damp proofing walls requires careful planning and precise installation. Our process includes:

Drilling a series of holes in the masonry at the base of the affected walls.
Injecting a specially formulated damp proofing solution, such as Fresh Breeze DPC cream, to create a continuous, impervious barrier that blocks moisture from rising.
Vertical damp proof courses are applied to adjacent abutting walls for comprehensive protection.

Our low-odour injection method cures within the masonry to form a durable barrier against rising damp.

Plaster Removal and Rendering

Installing a new damp proof course is only part of the solution. The existing plaster, often contaminated with salts, must be removed and replaced with a waterproof rendering system to achieve lasting results.

We use precision-mixed waterproof renders that ensure correct proportions of sand, cement, lime, and waterproofing agents. This method eliminates inconsistencies often found in hand-mixed renders, providing a reliable and consistent finish. After rendering, a topcoat skim is applied to create a smooth plaster finish ready for decoration.
