Damp Proof Membrane Installation | Rising Damp Expert UK
Moisture problems can cause serious structural and health issues if not treated on time. One of the most effective solutions for protecting properties from rising damp is a Damp Proof Membrane Installation. At Rising Damp Expert, we provide professional, long-lasting damp protection services across the UK, ensuring homes and commercial buildings stay dry, safe, and structurally sound.
What Is a Damp Proof Membrane?
A Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) is a waterproof layer made of high-density polyethylene or similar materials, installed to block moisture from passing through walls, floors, or foundations. It prevents water ingress, rising damp, and ground moisture, providing lasting structural protection.
Why Damp Proof Membrane Installation Is Important
If damp is not controlled, it can lead to:
- Damage to plaster, bricks, and timber
- Black mould and condensation issues
- Structural weakening and rot
- Health problems due to mould spores
- Poor indoor air quality
Professional damp proof membrane installation ensures complete protection against these issues by sealing moisture out before it spreads.
Expert Damp Proof Membrane Installation Process
At Rising Damp Expert, our installation is carried out by qualified and experienced technicians following industry standards. Our process includes:
✔ 1. Detailed Property Survey
A trained damp specialist inspects the building using moisture readings, wall probes, and visual assessments.
✔ 2. Surface Preparation
Contaminated plaster and salts are removed, and surfaces are cleaned to ensure maximum adhesion.
✔ 3. Membrane Application
Depending on the building type, we install one of the following:
- Cavity Drain Membrane
- Mesh Damp Membrane
- Liquid or Sheet DPM
✔ 4. Fixing & Sealing
The membrane is sealed with waterproof fixings and tape to create a continuous moisture barrier.
✔ 5. Replastering & Finishing
We apply specialist plaster compatible with damp membranes and leave surfaces ready for decoration.
Where Can DPM Be Installed?
Damp Proof Membrane Installation is suitable for:
- Basements & Cellars
- Ground Floor Walls & Floors
- New Builds and Extensions
- Commercial Buildings
- Renovation Projects
Whether your property is old or new, a membrane is one of the strongest defences against dampness.
