DAMP CONTROL WITH A DIFFERENCE

How the Damp System works

Our system uses natural ventilation to prevent the damp in your home.

This is achieved through a series of small, handmade elements fixed into the outside wall of your property by our expert team. There will be approximately 2.3 elements installed per linear metre, approximately just above the internal skirting board level. However, the exact spacing between the elements and the optimum height are always determined by the Installation Engineers as this can vary depending on the construction of the property and the level of the floors.

Here is the essential principle: dry air constantly flows from the outside into the elements, through an opening. This causes a drop in temperature and a “cold bridge”, which causes moisture from the interior of the wall to be deposited within the element. The natural airflow transports this moisture outside.

The result? A lower humidity level inside your property, dry walls – and continuous protection against damp.

Damp System Benefits

The Damp System offers a whole host of benefits – from saving you money to protecting the health of your family.

Health

Studies have shown that in the UK, more than 3 million people suffer illnesses due to damp in their homes. Damp can be especially tough on the respiratory system, and illnesses such as asthma and rheumatism can be exacerbated by high humidity. In addition, mould spores can aggravate or cause allergies.

In fact, damp can be so potentially harmful to our health that the World Health Organisation have identified it as a serious cause for concern.

The Damp System can help to protect you and your family’s health by providing a safe and natural way to remove the damp from your home. Natural airflow is used in the place of any chemicals or potentially harmful substances for your peace of mind.

Environment

The Damp System is the eco-friendly choice for ridding your house of damp. So much so, that respected environmentalists, such as Russell Smith, are happy to recommend us.

By using natural airflow and the outside environment to dry out your walls, no unnatural chemicals are needed. As it takes more energy to heat a damp home, the Damp System can also mean that you use less energy, with a positive effect on the environment.

Cost and convenience

What our happy customers love most about the Damp System is how easy and fuss-free the installation process is. As the system is installed outside the home, you don’t need to worry about moving furniture, dealing with mess, or replastering. In fact, our engineers usually install the system within just one day, and can do so without your presence, so as not to interfere with your schedule.

The Damp System is a permanent solution, so doesn’t require costly ongoing maintenance.

For your ultimate convenience, the Damp System is suitable for almost any property; insulated and non-insulated houses; single brick and cavity walls; new builds and old houses; and even buildings of significance, such as churches, monuments and castles.

To keep improving our offering to you, we invest in continuous training of our team and never hire subcontractors.

Ideal Properties

Whilst most of our work involves private properties, we have also installed the Damp System for private landlords, housing associations, businesses and charity organisations.
