Here are some of the major damp problems that we regularly deal with:
Rising damp
Rising damp occurs when damp travels through your home’s walls, rising via capillary action. This is one of the most harmful forms of damp in terms of causing structural damage to the building, so treatments must be taken care of as a matter of urgency. One effective method to treat rising damp is the installation of a damp proof membrane, a high density polyethylene material that is impermeable to water ingress and contaminants.
To fight rising damp, our damp specialists will either install a damp proof course or repair your existing one. This damp proofing treatment is built to last, ensuring damp will be eliminated from your home for many years.
Many unreliable companies intentionally misdiagnose other types of damp as rising damp, so that they can over-charge for their services
We value integrity here at Environ Property Services, and we will do a thorough inspection of your property first and provide you with sufficient evidence of rising damp before going to work. Work with us, and we promise that you won’t have to deal with any unnecessary renovation and expenses.
Lateral damp
If you are experiencing damp in your property, it generally means that there is an excess of unwanted moisture within your walls, ceilings or floor.
Lateral damp in particular is a form of penetrating damp, and occurs when groundwater enters a property horizontally through cracks or porous material in the walls or floors. This can occur at any level that is in contact with soil, but it is particularly prevalent in basements and below ground areas.
If not treated or identified correctly, lateral damp could lead to structural issues as well as mould and dry rot. Damp proofing walls is crucial to address these symptoms, as it can prevent aesthetic damage, structural deterioration, and health concerns such as exacerbated respiratory conditions and poor energy efficiency.
Woodworm
A woodworm is a wood-eating species of larvae that is laid by various different types of insects, particularly the common furniture beetle. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae will begin burrowing tunnels into the wood searching for nutrients and creating tunnels so that, eventually, they can fly out of the wood as adults. The term woodworm itself is used to describe the damaging effect on wood and timber from the infestation of these larvae. Small holes are created throughout timber and wood structures, and, If left untreated, woodworm can cause serious timber damage and can create a long lasting effect on the framework of a property without treatment.
If you notice any of these symptoms, then there is a good chance that you are experiencing woodworm in your property, and it is time to call in the professionals for damp treatment at Environ Property Services to solve your problem.
An untreated woodworm infestation can lead to the structural integrity of timbers within a building becoming compromised. The extent of damage to timber which woodworm can cause may result in long term implications for the structural framework of your property without damp proofing treatments
Penetrating damp
Penetrating damp is where water enters your wall, floor, or ceilings in various ways, such as leaking roofs, cracked walls, or broken plumbing. A damp wall can slowly destroy your property, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.
In cases of penetrative damp like these, you can’t just paint over it and be done. What you need is a team of specialists in damp treatment to fix the problem. Our London damp proofing experts are offering damp removal treatments to address various damp issues faced by homeowners. We provide comprehensive services to effectively manage and resolve damp-related problems within properties.
Sometimes, the solutions might just be to remove some leaves from the gutters or reseal a window. But even if the problem requires breaking down your walls to find leaking pipes, you can be assured that our treatment will replace all of the damaged materials and put your home back to the way it was.
Damp Surfaces
Your home may be free of structural damp, but moisture in the air can still settle on your home’s surfaces via condensation. Damp walls can be caused by rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation on walls. You won’t experience any severe structural damage with this kind of damp, but it can cause mould and other allergens to accumulate in your home.
For these kinds of issues, we at Environ Property Services offer damp proofing treatments to address various damp surfaces. We can damp-proof your home by installing a PIV unit. These are low-cost, easily installed pieces of equipment that can ventilate your residence with fresh air, driving out all of the moisture and allergens from your home.
PIV units are far less expensive than alternatives such as MHVR units and full-house air conditioning.
Moreover, we offer the most affordable PIV installation solutions in the country, letting you get rid of the problem for a very low cost.

About Damp Proof Course
A damp proof course (DPC) is a barrier designed to stop moisture from running up walls. It can be made from all sorts of material, such as plastic, lead, rubber, and more.
If your property was built within the last century, there’s a good chance it will already have a DPC installed. However, older buildings likely won’t have it, as they were constructed before damp proof courses were widely used. Unfortunately, deterioration with age or movement in the home can cause damage to your DPC, weakening its effectiveness.
It can be challenging to know whether or not your home’s DPC is damaged. You will need to hire reliable London damp proofing companies to perform a survey on your property and advise you on what to do in terms of damp treatments. The only other way of knowing is when the damp has already set in and has caused visible damage to your house.
Whatever the damp problem may be, the damp proofing specialists at Environ will be ready with solutions. Even issues that can’t be solved with DPC, like basement damp, can be efficiently addressed, as we are also a competent basement waterproofing company.
We can provide the best DPC and tanking solutions for your property.

Tips On Dealing With Damp Problems at Your London Home
Here are some damp treatment tips to mitigate the harmful effects of damp:
- Regular outdoor maintenance
Since a lot of damp problems come from external factors, conducting regular outdoor maintenance will go a long way. Always inspect your roof for damage, especially after storms. Make sure to clear your gutters of any leaves and other debris, and have any damaged parts replaced as soon as possible. Gutter guards are also a great help in keeping your gutters nice and clean.
- Good ventilation
Having a well-ventilated home will help clear any moisture from your property. This is especially crucial during colder months when the humidity is much higher. Keep your windows open as often as possible, and inspect your washers and dryers to ensure they are properly vented. Having an extractor fan in your bathroom and kitchen will help expel moisture from the area.
- Good ventilation
It’s crucial to position your furniture a few centimetres away from walls so that air can circulate. This prevents condensation, and eventually mould, from forming on the surfaces that come into contact with each other.
These are just a few helpful things you can do to ward off damp. For severe cases, however, the help of a London damp proofing company is vital.
When damp starts to damage the structural integrity of your building, only our damp proofing experts will be able to fix it. We also have a team of cellar waterproofing professionals and provide tanking services!
