Rising Damp Specialists Glasgow
Rising damp is a common but serious issue that affects many properties in Glasgow. This problem occurs when moisture from the ground rises through the walls of a building, leading to structural damage, unsightly stains, and potential health hazards. At Matheson Damp Services, we specialise in identifying, treating, and preventing rising damp in Glasgow homes and businesses.
Not only do our Glasgow damp specialists survey for rising damp, they also offer full remedial works to ensure we get to the root of the issue and resolve it properly, to protect your property for years to come.
What is rising damp?
Rising damp is caused by the capillary action where moisture travels up through the porous materials of a building’s walls, such as brick or stone. This moisture can carry salts from the ground, which then crystallise on wall surfaces, leading to further damage. Signs of rising damp include peeling paint, discoloured plaster, and a musty odour. Over time, this can weaken the structural integrity of the property and create an unhealthy living environment.
Glasgow’s wet climate and architecture make it particularly susceptible to rising damp. The city’s older buildings, often constructed with materials like sandstone, are especially vulnerable. The high levels of rainfall and groundwater can exacerbate the problem, leading to more frequent cases of rising damp in Glasgow compared to other regions.

Our Rising Damp Solutions
At Matheson Damp Services, we offer comprehensive solutions for rising damp in Glasgow and across central Scotland. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the extent of the problem. We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess moisture levels and pinpoint the source of the dampness.
Once identified, we implement effective treatments such as:
-
Damp Proof Course (DPC) Installation: A DPC is a protective barrier inserted into the walls to prevent moisture from rising. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure a long-lasting solution.
- Wall Injection Creams: These are specially formulated creams injected into the walls to create a waterproof barrier that stops moisture from rising.
-
Replastering: After treating the damp, we offer specialised replastering services to restore your walls to their original condition, using salt-resistant materials to prevent future damage.
