The Rising Damp Specialist
About Us
About Rising Damp Sydney
Practical experience. Technical diagnosis. Proven outcomes.
Rising Damp Sydney is built on decades of hands-on building experience and a deep, practical understanding of how moisture behaves inside real masonry structures — not just how it behaves in theory.
My name is Jason. I’ve worked in the building industry for over 31 years, with more than 10 years focused exclusively on waterproofing and rising damp diagnosis. During that time, I’ve been regularly engaged by major building companies and contractors when conventional approaches fail — particularly on basements, sub-surface walls, heritage masonry, and complex underground moisture problems.
I have trained multiple teams and two highly successful waterproofing companies (who are now my competitors) have been born from past employees.
Rising damp is rarely a simple issue. Accurate diagnosis requires an understanding of construction sequencing, masonry types, soil conditions, evaporation dynamics, salt behaviour, and how different waterproofing systems perform over time — not just how they’re supposed to work on paper.
That level of judgment only comes from long-term, real-world exposure. It’s where experience replaces guesswork.
The team behind the work
While I design the diagnostic approach and treatment strategy, long-term results depend on correct execution.
Our technicians are specialist rising damp injection applicators and licensed waterproofers, trained on difficult, real-world projects — not controlled or ideal conditions. Every system is installed with precision, monitored during application, and verified on-site to ensure correct penetration and performance.
The products and systems we use are selected because they perform consistently across a wide range of masonry types, construction methods, and site conditions — not because they are convenient or widely marketed.
We maintain a stable, long-term team. In waterproofing, this matters. Consistency leads to predictable outcomes, reliable warranties, and workmanship that continues to perform years after installation.
Every project is treated as a structural intervention — not a cosmetic fix.
