Damp Proofing Services
Expert diagnosis and guaranteed treatments for all types of damp problems affecting properties across Essex and Suffolk.
Why Do You Need Professional Damp Proofing?
Damp is one of the most destructive issues a property can face. Left untreated, it damages structural timber, ruins plaster and decorations, and creates an environment where toxic black mould thrives — posing a significant risk to your family's respiratory health.
At KDS Property Preservation, we don't just treat the symptoms. Many builders will simply paint over damp patches or install new plasterboards. This is a temporary fix. We identify the root cause of the moisture ingress and implement permanent, guaranteed solutions.
Survey & Diagnosis Tools
We use professional-grade moisture metres and diagnostic equipment to accurately identify the type and extent of damp before recommending any treatment.
Our Damp Proofing Process
1Thorough Survey & Diagnosis
We visit your property to conduct a comprehensive assessment using professional moisture metres. We identify exactly what type of damp you're dealing with.
2Clear Reporting
You receive a straightforward explanation of the problem, the cause, and our recommended course of action, along with a transparent, no-obligation quote.
3Specialist Treatment
Our experienced technicians carry out the necessary repairs, whether that's injecting a new Damp Proof Course (DPC), applying waterproof render, or improving ventilation.
4Specialist Replastering
Crucially, we remove contaminated plaster and replace it with specialist salt-retardant damp-proof plaster to ensure the damp does not return.
