Contact a licensed waterproofer

Before submitting anything

Most damp turns out to have a cause that needs no waterproofer at all — a blocked downpipe, a garden bed built up over the damp course, a sprinkler, condensation. The line-up takes about a minute, asks for no contact details, and names the likely cause. It is worth running first.

What this form is, and is not

• It passes the details on to a licensed waterproofing contractor. Any response comes from them.
• It is not a diagnosis, a quote, a booking or an engagement, and nothing here commits anyone to anything.
• No price, timeframe or outcome is promised, by this site or on anyone else's behalf.
• Details are not added to a mailing list. See the privacy policy.

What to include

A suburb or postcode, a description of what the wall is doing and when it is worst, and photographs if there are any. Which photographs help most, and why, is on photographing damp.

Where this research focuses

The pages on this site describe how damp behaves in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Tweed Heads and the surrounding coastal strip — shallow water tables, saline groundwater and a large stock of older brickwork. The physics holds anywhere; the base rates in these pages are regional. Which parts of South East Queensland it is most common in is covered on where rising damp is common.
