Rising damp occurs when groundwater is drawn up through walls by capillary action. Masonry materials like brick, block, mortar, and plaster contain tiny pores that act like a sponge. When these pores touch wet ground, they absorb moisture — just like a dry sponge draws in water.

At Crystal Damp Proofing, we protect your home using advanced chemically-injected damp proof courses (DPC) with the latest technology from Poland — Crystarid®-IK. This innovative system works by creating a permanent crystalline barrier inside your walls:

• Deep penetration and crystallisation: The Crystarid®-IK activator moves through the masonry, forming insoluble crystals that block moisture.
• Long-lasting protection: Once formed, the crystalline barrier is permanent, preventing rising damp for decades.
• Eco-friendly and safe: Strengthens your walls without harmful chemicals, suitable for brick, stone, and concrete.
• Proven results: Works effectively even in walls with high moisture or salt content, ensuring your property stays dry and structurally sound.

With Crystarid®-IK, your walls are not just treated — they are fortified against moisture, giving you peace of mind and a healthier home.
