Protecting Kent Homes from Damp and Water Damage

Professional Damp Proofing Services - Preventing Structural and Health Hazards

Identifying and Addressing Rising Damp in Older Properties

Rising damp is often found in older buildings where the original damp-proof course has failed or is missing. This allows moisture to rise through walls via capillary action, leaving behind salt bands that attract further moisture. If untreated, it can damage brick, mortar, and timber. J.H. Garlick Ltd uses proven methods to stop rising damp and prevent further structural harm.

Combating Wet and Dry Rot from Damp Conditions

Wet and dry rot occur when moisture combines with poor ventilation, leading to fungal decay in timber. This can weaken structures and spread rapidly. The company’s team inspects for hidden damage and applies tailored rot treatments to restore integrity.

Solutions for Penetrative Damp in Traditional Homes

Penetrating damp enters through roofs, walls, or windows, often due to damaged gutters or high ground levels. Symptoms include damp patches, mould, and crumbling plaster. J.H. Garlick Ltd identifies the source and completes both external and internal repairs to eliminate the issue.

Certified Damp Surveys by CSRT-Qualified Surveyors

Each damp proofing Kent project begins with a detailed survey conducted by CSRT-certified professionals. The survey identifies visible and hidden issues, guiding the proposed treatments. Adjacent timbers are also assessed to ensure all risks are addressed.

Basement Waterproofing - Turning Damp Spaces into Valuable Assets

Proven Waterproofing Systems Tailored to Your Needs
