Rising damp treatment: compare what each method is designed to do

Two damp treatment quotations may cover different jobs. Before comparing the price, ask which mechanism is being addressed and which parts of the building are included.

Before choosing equipment, prepare a plan and dated photographs. Help Humidité provides product pages and instructions so you can examine the reference and positioning before purchase. If the moisture cause remains uncertain, clarify it before deciding on treatment and identify any independent repairs still needed.

Different methods have different purposes

Injection aims to form a barrier in suitable masonry. Drainage manages water around the building and needs an appropriate outlet. Ventilation concerns indoor air. These methods are not interchangeable just because each mentions damp. Ask how wall thickness, joints, access and ground conditions are considered where relevant. A proposal should explain the building conditions on which it depends.

Installation, monitoring and finishes

ATE and ATG devices are offered for rising damp with positioning set out in their instructions, without a line of resin injections into the masonry. Preparing damaged plaster and repairing separate defects remain distinct tasks. Agree how the wall will be observed and when the substrate will be checked before redecorating. One drying deadline for every building does not account for different materials and configurations.

Before you decide

• Document the walls and possible water sources.
• Check the model and installation instructions.
• Separate fitting, monitoring and reinstatement of finishes.

A practical question

Does more building work always mean a better solution?

Suitability depends on the cause and the masonry, rather than the scale of the work alone.

Compare our wall drying devices

The range includes mains-powered ATE LC15, ATE LC30, ATE LC30 PULSE and ATE MAX, alongside ATG LC15 and ATG LC30 without electricity. The devices are manufactured in Castres, France. Compare the diameter with the building layout and follow the instructions. The manufacturer’s 10-year warranty applies under its conditions. The device does not replace independent interventions on leaks, penetrating water or ventilation.
