Damp Proofing & Property Care in Guildford
Guildford's varied topography across the North Downs creates hillside properties where rear ground levels frequently push against upper basement walls, causing severe lateral damp penetration. The town's period Victorian villas and character cottages require careful diagnostic assessment.
Guildford's sloping ground means some properties have rear garden levels higher than the floor inside. Where soil presses against a basement, cellar or ground-floor wall, water can push through the masonry, and the usual fix is a tanking or drainage system designed for that wall.
The River Wey runs through the town, and ground conditions can change quickly from street to street. Because of that, each property is surveyed on its own, with the cause of the damp identified before a system is chosen.
