The duration of a damp proofing job can vary widely depending on the severity of the issue and the methods used. Typically, jobs can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, especially if extensive work is needed.

While general contractors can perform some damp proofing tasks, it's advisable to hire a qualified specialist for more complex issues. This is especially important for structural work or if electrical and gas systems are involved.

Some professionals offer emergency damp proofing services, particularly for severe cases that require immediate attention. However, availability may vary, so it’s best to inquire directly with local service providers.
