Housing in Ebbw Vale
Stone terraces in Blaenau Gwent are built into slopes. The rear wall is often retaining wet ground. Driving rain hits the front. Those are two different defects, and neither is cured by a cream at skirting height alone. Stone rows on steep ground. Gullies above the house wet the wall when they block.
Rear retaining walls
Earth against the back wall is lateral water. It is specified as a retaining-wall detail after the survey.
Front elevations
Open joints on the street face let rain in. Repointing is the outside job.
Slope drainage
Paths and shared gullies above the house discharge onto the wall when they block.
Rear retaining walls
Ebbw Vale terraces are cut into the hillside. The rear wall often retains ground while the front takes the rain. Stone rows on steep ground. Gullies above the house wet the wall when they block. A terrace cut into a Blaenau Gwent hillside has a back wall against the ground. Damp there is reviewed as lateral moisture, not as ordinary rising damp.
Local, Quick Response Time:
Send the Ebbw Vale postcode and a photo of the mark. The survey date depends on access and the diary.
Guaranteed Dry Home:
Every single job we complete is backed by a solid, long-term guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind that the damp is truly gone for good.
Front elevations
The front elevation still has to shed rain. Failed pointing on stone is a separate line from any work to the rear wall.
Slope drainage
Blocked gullies and shared drains above the row wet several houses at once. The survey includes where that water is supposed to go.
What this is not
Solid stone party walls pass a leak from next door’s flashing. The stain is traced, not injected by default.
Drying and timber
Basement kitchens under the street are below-ground work. The floor joint is included or the job fails at the skirting.
What the quote lists
Quotes separate the retaining side, the weather side, and any plaster. A single terrace rate ignores which wall is actually wet.

FAQs in Ebbw Vale
Yes. Damp Solutions surveys and treats rising damp, rain through the wall, and condensation in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the postcode. Ebbw Vale terraces are cut into the hillside. The rear wall often retains ground while the front takes the rain.
The back wall is probably against the ground. The front is a different exposure. They are not one diagnosis.
No. Lateral water from retained earth needs its own specification. A course at the base of a dry front wall does not do that job.
Groundwater can rise through masonry when the damp-proof course is missing, has failed, or is bridged by soil, a patio, or render. A low wet patch is not automatically rising damp, because a leaking pipe and rain can look the same. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the floor and the postcode.
The survey checks the course and the outside ground first. A bridge is removed. Where the course itself has failed, a new horizontal barrier is installed and salt-contaminated plaster is replaced. The wall then dries over months, not the same day. Send the quote form or WhatsApp to book the survey.
A failed course keeps feeding salts into the plaster, and joist ends in that wall can soften. That still does not make every low mark rising damp. The survey says whether the wall, a leak, or condensation is the cause. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with a photo.
Black mould on cold walls and glass in winter is usually moist indoor air, not a failed damp-proof course. Heat, ventilation, and less moisture from drying clothes indoors are the useful changes. A new course does not dry the air. Send the quote form or WhatsApp if the mould keeps returning.
The written quote follows the damp type and how far the repair goes. Injection without replastering is a different job from injection with the salty plaster removed. A figure before the survey is not a quote. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the postcode.
