Woodworm, rot and damp specialists in Enniskillen

Fermanagh is lakeland, and that means consistently high groundwater. Enniskillen itself sits between Upper and Lower Lough Erne, with a water table that leaves very little margin at the base of a wall.

Where a property has a cellar or a below-ground room, a damp proof course alone will not hold water back under that kind of pressure — it needs tanking, a continuous waterproof barrier across wall and floor.

Older lakeside and rural stone property is the most affected, particularly where ventilation is poor.
