One person, start to finish

Call Damp Technology and you deal with the same person the whole way through. On the phone, at the inspection and doing the work. No sales reps and no subcontractors. Left alone, rising damp spreads through render, plaster and brickwork, brings mould, and takes value off a home well before the stain shows.

Every job starts with a proper look to find where the water is really coming from, and ends with the cause fixed, the wall made good and the site left clean.

  • The same person from first call to last, never a subcontractor
  • The cause fixed, not the symptom covered up
  • Straight answers and honest, no-pressure quotes
  • Heritage and period homes handled with care

Rising damp treatment

From terraces and period homes to solid brick and sandstone.

The main job

Rising Damp Eradication

A silicone damp-proof course is injected into the wall to stop ground moisture rising up through it. Proven, straightforward work, backed by a twenty-year warranty.

20-year warranty against future rising damp
  • 01

    Terraces & period homes

    Older Sydney homes where damp has had decades to work its way quietly up the wall.

  • 02

    Solid brick & sandstone

    Thick, solid walls that hold moisture and take experience to read and treat.

  • 03

    Ground-level & sub-floor damp

    Where moisture rises from the earth beneath the house into the lowest courses of brick.

  • 04

    Before you buy or sell

    Damp flagged in a building report, or a wall you want properly sorted before it goes to market.

The stain is rarely the real problem

Peeling paint, bubbling render, a musty room, salt lines low on the wall. These are only symptoms. Finding what is actually letting the water in means looking at the whole building, not just the mark on the plaster.

  • Failed or badly installed damp-proof courses
  • Ground water and sub-floor moisture
  • Poor drainage and ventilation
  • Leaking or perished membranes
  • Roof, gutter and downpipe leaks
  • Salt attack, condensation and mould
