Damp Proofing Services
Professional Damp Proofing & Chemical DPC Specialists in Cumbria
Damp proofing is essential to protect your property from the damaging effects of excess moisture. If left untreated, damp can lead to serious structural issues, timber decay, damaged plasterwork, and even health problems caused by mould growth.
At Miller’s Roofing Services Limited, we specialise in diagnosing and treating all types of damp, with a strong focus on chemical damp-proof course (DPC) injection systems – one of the most effective long-term solutions for rising damp.
Our experienced team will carefully assess the root cause of the issue, whether it is:
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
- Salt contamination (salt damp)
- Condensation-related damp
We then recommend the most effective and long-lasting treatment solution for your property.

Chemical Damp-Proof Course (DPC) Injection
For rising damp, we primarily install a retrofit chemical DPC system.
This process typically involves:
- Drilling a series of precise holes in a continuous band along the affected mortar course
- Injecting a specialist damp-proofing cream or fluid
- Creating a new chemical barrier that prevents moisture from rising through the brickwork
This method forms a long-lasting moisture barrier within the wall, stopping rising damp at its source.
Where required, we also:
- Remove contaminated plaster affected by salts
- Replaster using appropriate renovating plaster systems
- Install damp proof membranes
- Recommend ventilation improvements where necessary
Our aim is always to provide a permanent solution – not a temporary fix.
How to Spot Rising Damp
Rising damp only occurs at ground level, as it is caused by moisture being drawn up from the soil beneath and around your property.
Common signs include:
- A visible “tide mark” on internal walls (usually up to 1 metre high)
- Damp patches near skirting boards
- Peeling wallpaper or bubbling paint
- Crumbling plaster
- White, fluffy salt deposits (efflorescence) on brickwork
- Mould growth at low level
If you are unsure whether you are experiencing rising damp or another type of moisture issue, it’s always best to seek professional advice. Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary work and costs.
