Partner with a Proven Long-Term Rising Damp Solution

About BPG & Our Technology Partner

Rising Damp™ is a specialist service delivered by Building Protection Group (BPG), focused exclusively on the diagnosis and permanent treatment of rising damp.

Rising damp is one of the most misunderstood building defects in Australia and is frequently misdiagnosed based on visual symptoms alone. The Rising Damp™ service applies a science-backed, diagnostics-first approach to confirm true rising damp before any treatment is recommended. Once diagnosed, a permanent, non-invasive solution is implemented to address moisture movement at its source.

BPG is the exclusive Australian partner and accredited system provider of the I.P.E® Pro+ technology, developed and manufactured by BFL® International, a European company with decades of experience in electro-physical moisture control systems used across residential, commercial, and heritage buildings.

Through this partnership, BPG is responsible for:
  • Supplying the I.P.E® Pro+ system in Australia
  • Training and accrediting professional installers
  • Maintaining installation standards and quality assurance
  • Supporting long-term system performance and warranty compliance

What Accreditation Includes

Comprehensive Installer Training

BPG provides all required training, ensuring installers fully understand the science of rising damp and the correct application of the I.P.E® Pro+ system. Training covers moisture behaviour in masonry, correct diagnosis, installation methodology, and realistic client expectation management.

Installers are trained to operate within a diagnostics-first framework, ensuring the system is only installed where true rising damp has been confirmed.

Approved Testing & Diagnostic Equipment

Accredited installers are issued with, and required to maintain, a BPG-approved diagnostic testing kit. This ensures consistent, accurate, and defensible diagnosis and monitoring across all installations.

Quality Assurance, Validation & Compliance

All installations operate within a strict QA framework to protect clients, installers, and warranty integrity. Requirements include:

► Verified diagnosis prior to installation
► Correct placement and commissioning
► Completion of the Installation Test Plan (ITP)

► Accurate documentation and photographic evidence

These requirements are essential for performance verification and long-term system credibility.

Structured Installation & Monitoring Process

FAQs

1. What is rising damp?

Rising damp occurs when ground moisture travels upward through walls, slabs, and masonry by capillary action because the damp-proof course (DPC) is missing, compromised, or bridged by soil or paving. This moisture carries salts that can damage paint, plaster, timber, and masonry over time.

Yes. Installations are backed by a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty when the system is installed, validated and monitored according to the program’s requirements.

9. Why is rising damp often misdiagnosed?

Rising damp is frequently misdiagnosed based on visual symptoms alone because similar signs (like damp patches, peeling paint or mould) can be caused by other moisture issues. The Rising Damp™️ service uses a science-backed, diagnostics-first approach to confirm true rising damp before treatment.

10. What are the signs of rising damp?

Common signs can include damp patches on walls, tide marks or staining, peeling or blistering paint and plaster, mould or musty smells, and decay in skirting boards or floor coverings. These indicate moisture moving upward through porous materials.

11. How does the Rising Damp™️ solution differ from traditional treatments?

The Rising Damp™️ approach focuses on confirming true rising damp with diagnostics first and addresses it with a permanent system backed by training, structured processes and long-term monitoring, moving beyond traditional invasive chemical injections or temporary cosmetic fixes.
