Damp Proofing in Henley-on-Thames

Damp Proofing & Property Care in Henley-on-Thames

Henley features riverside residences, historic Georgian brick facades, and luxury flint and brick homes throughout the Chiltern Valley. Proximity to the River Thames makes properties especially vulnerable to groundwater surge and rising damp during seasonal rain.

Henley-on-Thames has riverside homes, Georgian brick frontages and flint-and-brick houses typical of the Chilterns. Flint and soft historic brick can hold moisture, so repointing with the wrong mortar or applying a sealant to the outside of a wall can make damp worse.

Cellars and lower ground floors near the river can be affected by groundwater, especially after heavy rain. A survey looks at where the water is entering, and whether drainage or a pump system is a better answer than tanking alone.
