Damp is caused by a build-up of excess moisture in the air which cannot escape. The common causes of dampness are from either a rapid increase or gradual accumulation of moisture entering a building or room. These can occur in several ways, such as from steam when showering and cooking, water leakage, condensation or poor ventilation.

We always recommend seeking help from a damp specialist to determine the causes of dampness and the appropriate treatment. If left untreated, damp can cause further structural damage to your home as well as uncomfortable living conditions.

Prokil offer a range of damp removal services, depending on what type of damp you have. Based on this, we will offer a bespoke damp proofing treatment to effectively resolve the problem.
