Local knowledge
Damp in Castleford homes
Castleford grew up where the Aire and the Calder meet, and its oldest streets sit on the low ground near the rivers. Ground there can stay wet for long spells, so a damp proof course that has failed or been bridged soon shows as tide marks and salts. See rising damp.
The town's terraces went up in the late 1800s and early 1900s for the miners and the glass and pottery workers, in brick with solid walls. On those walls, worn pointing and leaking gutters let rain soak through to the inside. See penetrating damp.
The estates built after the war, and the newer housing on former colliery land, have cavity walls, where condensation, leaks and cavity insulation that has got wet are the more likely causes.

Do I need a new damp course, or something else?
It depends on the cause. Damp low on the wall with a tide mark may be rising damp; damp after rain, at any height, is more likely rain getting in. We check which before we quote.

It depends on the cause and how much wall is affected, so we price each job on what we find. The quote is free.
