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 Redbank, and the wall is metered before we quote.
Redbank is old railway and industrial ground with housing to match, near the river. A pre-war cottage here may have been built without a damp course. A wet wall in a newer house here is a different matter, and drainage is the first thing to check.
A split between genuinely old workers' housing and recent estate development. The old stock behaves like the rest of pre-war Ipswich: solid walls, no barrier, damage concentrated in the first metre. The new stock cannot get rising damp and should not be sold a treatment for it.
Storm water is a theme to check: downpipes discharging to the surface rather than into a line, and yards graded toward the house rather than away from it. Both are cheap to correct, and either can do more for a damp wall than an injected course.
| Height range, 250 m around the centre | about 16–34 m above sea level |
|---|---|
| Height at the centre | about 21 m |
| Brisbane River | about 1.0 km from the centre (straight line) |
| Ipswich CBD | about 10.9 km (straight line) |
| Named roads | Brisbane Road, Francis Street, Brisbane Terrace and Collingwood Drive |
| Named parks | Pan Pacific Peace Gardens, Tofa Mamao A Samoa Park and Banjo Paterson Park |
Redbank's centre reads 21 m, the lowest centre reading on this site, though one reading says nothing about one block. For a pre-war cottage, check the flood information for the address and the ground level against the wall. For a newer house, check the downpipes and whether the yard is graded toward the house.
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. For a pre-war cottage, the usual injection and render. For a newer house, downpipes and a yard graded toward the house are cheap to correct.
We work across the Ipswich local government area and the western corridor.
