Tell us what the wall is doing.
No obligation. We ring you back to talk through the job.
Rising Damp Ipswich assesses and treats damp in One Mile, and the wall is metered before we quote.
One Mile is on the western side, near the Bremer, with surviving pre-war cottages among later housing. Where a house here has both a flood history and no damp course, the two problems compound and have to be separated before either is treated.
Modest older housing, timber and brick, some of it repaired after flooding. A quick repair after a flood can trap moisture rather than release it, and a wall lined in plasterboard while still wet will show mould and salt for years afterwards regardless of what the ground is doing.
Where the ground holds water through the wet season, the practical test is seasonal rather than instant: a wall that is worse every wet season and better every winter is behaving like a ground water problem, and one that has been the same since the flood is behaving like salt.
| Height range, 250 m around the centre | about 25–32 m above sea level |
|---|---|
| Height at the centre | about 29 m |
| Bremer River | about 0.4 km from the centre (straight line) |
| Ipswich CBD | about 2.9 km (straight line) |
| Named roads | Old Toowoomba Road, Lobb Street, Siemons Street and Cafferky Street |
| Named parks | Gerald Ronayne Park, Oakhill Street Park and Wilcox Park |
One Mile's centre is 0.4 km from the Bremer River, so check the address against Ipswich City Council's flood information first. Then use the seasonal test in the ground note above to separate ground water from flood salt.
The six signs are on the home page, the order of the work on how it works, prices on the cost page and the measuring method on the about page. Post-flood repairs that trapped moisture may have to come off before anything else. The salted render can then be the larger line, not the course.
We work across the Ipswich local government area and the western corridor.
