Damp Proofing in Sale
Damp proofing and mould control across Sale and Sale Moor.
Sale is a mix of 1930s bay-fronted semis and older Victorian terraces, with plenty of homes close to the Bridgewater Canal and the low-lying land near the River Mersey. That proximity to water, combined with solid or early-cavity walls, means damp is a regular issue across M33.
The 1930s semis around Sale tend to suffer with condensation and black mould — they were built airtight by modern standards once double glazing and insulation went in, but without the ventilation to match. We fix this with extractor fans and Positive Input Ventilation rather than just wiping the mould away. On the older terraced stock near Sale Moor we more often deal with rising damp and tired damp-proof courses.
How we help in Sale
- Rising Damp Treatment
- Penetrating Damp
- Condensation & Mould
- Plastering & Making Good
Because wiping it off treats the symptom, not the cause. Mould in Sale's semis is almost always a ventilation problem — once we fit the right extraction or a PIV unit, it stops coming back.
