Does your home or property show signs of damp? Our damp specialists in Chester are trained to correctly diagnose all forms of dampness. Once you contact Atlantis, an experienced Surveyor will survey your property to assess condensation, low-level damp ingress, penetrating damp, rising damp, and associated defects.
Rising damp, in particular, requires careful assessment. There are multiple treatment options available, which is why it is essential to use a qualified damp proofing specialist. Correct diagnosis ensures the right treatment is applied promptly and effectively.
Atlantis aim to resolve damp problems properly the first time. Damp issues can return if they are not identified and treated correctly. Our damp proofing services focus on long-term prevention, ensuring your property remains dry, protected, and structurally sound.
Treating Dry Rot and Wet Rot
An additional specialist service provided by Atlantis is the treatment of dry rot and wet rot. There is a significant difference between these two forms of decay, both in how they spread and how they are treated. Costs can also vary considerably, making accurate diagnosis critical.
Treating dry rot can cost several thousand pounds, while wet rot treatment is often significantly less. Our certified surveyor will focus on identifying the exact type of decay present so the issue is resolved efficiently and without unnecessary expense.
A professional timber survey is essential. We will send a trained dry rot specialist to your home in Chester or Cheshire to confirm whether the decay is wet rot or dry rot and advise on the most appropriate remedial action.

Woodworm Treatment
For properties in and around Chester, we are a trusted choice for woodworm diagnosis and treatment. Woodworm is the common name given to a range of wood boring insects. If you notice holes appearing in timber, roof voids, or furniture, this may indicate an active or historic infestation.
If you are purchasing a home and woodworm has been highlighted in a mortgage survey, our damp and timber specialists can carry out a detailed inspection. Where an infestation is not active, treatment may not be required , and our honest approach ensures you only proceed when necessary.
We provide specialist timber surveys, clear quotations, and fully guaranteed woodworm treatments where required, giving you complete peace of mind.
Controlling Condensation in Cheshire Homes
Condensation is the most common form of dampness in residential properties and is often misunderstood. It occurs when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold surfaces, leading to water droplets and, in some cases, mould growth.
Condensation can be difficult to control without identifying the source of excess humidity. Everyday activities such as cooking, washing, and breathing all contribute to moisture levels. Our damp proofing specialists assess ventilation options to recommend effective solutions.
Installing suitable ventilation systems, such as air bricks or whole house ventilation systems, can significantly reduce condensation. Maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and avoiding drying clothes indoors can also help limit moisture build-up.
Cavity Wall Ties
If you notice cracking or bulging walls in your Chester property, failed cavity wall ties may be the cause. Over time, corroded wall ties can compromise structural stability and create pathways for moisture to penetrate the building.
Atlantis can assess cavity wall tie issues as part of a specialist survey and advise on remedial solutions where required, protecting both the structure and weather resistance of your property.
