Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best basement damp-proofing method?
Cavity drain membranes are widely used because they manage water rather than trying to block it.
How much does basement damp proofing cost in Dublin?
Typically €3,000–€15,000. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.
How urgent is basement damp proofing?
Address before finishing or using the basement.
Is black mould dangerous?
It can aggravate asthma, allergies and respiratory conditions, especially in children and older people. It should be removed and the cause fixed.
Can I just bleach the mould?
Bleach can lighten surface mould but doesn't fix the cause, and it often returns. Use a proper fungicidal wash, and deal with ventilation and moisture.
How do I tell condensation from rising damp?
Condensation appears on cold surfaces, corners and windows and gets worse in winter. Rising damp shows as a tide mark up to about a metre high on ground-floor walls.
