Damp in Wolverhampton homes
Wolverhampton is a Black Country city, and its housing tells the story of its industrial past. Dense streets of late Victorian and Edwardian red brick terraces in Whitmore Reans, Blakenhall, Park Village and Penn Fields were built for workers, with solid walls and damp proof courses that are now well over a century old.
In that older stock the common issues are rising damp from a failed or bridged DPC and penetrating damp through the solid walls. Because the city sits on the old South Staffordshire coalfield, some homes also stand on made ground, where historic ground movement can disturb a DPC and let damp in at low level.
Wolverhampton also has a large amount of interwar and post war council and social housing in Bushbury, Low Hill and Heath Town, where the main problem is condensation and black mould rather than structural damp. Because the cause varies so much, we establish it with a professional survey before recommending anything.

Signs of Damp in Wolverhampton Homes
Whether you are in an older terrace, a council house or a rental, these are the signs worth a professional look:
Important: treating rising damp as condensation, or the other way around, is one of the most common and costly mistakes made by non specialists. A professional survey is essential before any treatment is recommended.
How We Work, Survey to Completion
Professional damp survey
A qualified specialist surveys your property with a calibrated moisture meter. Where rising damp is suspected we take plaster samples for salt analysis to confirm it, separating rising damp from condensation or penetrating damp.
Written report and diagnosis
You receive a written report with what was found, the diagnosis and the recommended treatment. If the problem is less serious than another company quoted, we will tell you that too.
Fixed price in your report
A fixed price is included in your report. No day rates and no hidden extras, so you know the full cost before deciding. The survey fee is deducted from the works if you proceed.
Treatment and installation
Our trained technicians carry out all treatment to current British Standards, BS 6576 for chemical DPC injection and BS 8102 for any below ground waterproofing.
Written guarantee
Every installation comes with a written 10 year guarantee, transferable on property sale and accepted by solicitors and mortgage lenders.
What Our Customers Say
Genuine reviews from Advanced Damp customers.
"I had two other damp surveys on my home and they were only interested in concluding that it was rising damp so that they could charge me a lot to inject into my walls. Matt on the other hand has proper experience and techniques with thermal imaging, and he understood what the issues really were. He gave holistic advice on how to really solve the problem, and at much less cost."
"Lionel came to survey our flat. He couldn't have been pleasanter or more professional. He explained all his findings and we're hoping we're now on the way to resolving our mould problems."
"Professional company and a great transformation. The area is a small below ground void that has a sloped cement retaining slab. They damproofed it and then came up with a great plan to add storage shelves. It looks great and has added the storage that we wanted."
