How much does damp proofing cost in Lagos?

Damp proofing cost depends on the affected wall area, damp severity, and treatment required. Full chemical injection damp courses for rising damp always need an on-site inspection. Contact us with details of the affected area for an accurate quote.

What is the difference between waterproofing and damp proofing?

Waterproofing protects against direct water penetration (roofs, external walls, flat roofs). Damp proofing treats moisture that rises through walls from the ground or migrates through porous masonry, a different problem requiring different materials.

Why do my walls get damp every rainy season in Lagos?

Common causes include: no damp-proof course at foundation level (common in older Lagos buildings), cracked external render, porous blocks, and poor site drainage that keeps soil around the building permanently wet.

How long does damp proofing last?

Quality damp proofing treatment lasts 5 to 10 years depending on the product and severity of the original problem. Annual inspection and maintenance extends the effective life.
