About External Ground Level Damp
External ground level damp is the wet caused by a path, a flower bed or a new patio sitting at or above the damp-proof course.
The repair is to drop the level, or to detail a channel so the DPC is clear again, not to inject behind the soil. We look at how much has to come away and whether a drain or a step is involved. Render and plaster that bridge the same line are cut back. Inside drying is pointless until the outside level is honest. Groundworks beyond a simple reduction are quoted as groundworks. The POA follows the length we have measured. iComply quotes it from Stockport.

External Ground Level Damp FAQ
Will injection fix a high path?+
No. The path is higher than the DPC. The level has to change.
Do you excavate the whole garden?+
No. We lower the strip that bridges the course, and we say if that means a step or a channel.
How is External Ground Level Damp priced?+
Price on application after we know length of bridged DPC and how much the outside level has to drop. iComply does not publish a catalogue £ figure for this job.
