Damp Proofing Specialist In Kent
Damp proofing is perhaps one of the most important aspects of homeownership. You need to be confident that your home is protected from the potential damage caused by water ingress. To give you peace of mind, we offer specialist damp proofing in Kent that will address your needs. This will help to prevent water ingress which can lead to mould, mildew and structural damage.
Properties in the UK and in Kent are very susceptible to damp because of high rainfall and humidity levels. All properties should be protected using a damp proof course, but this can fail over time, which may lead to moisture silently seeping into your foundations. Other issues such as broken gutters, leaky pipes and faulty seals around windows and doors can also allow moisture into your home.

How does damp proofing work?
Damp proofing is an essential step in construction to help protect homes and other structures from moisture damage. Most building materials are porous, which means that water can pass through if there is no protection in place. Damp proofing will protect your home from water ingress and moisture damage, which can lead to mould growth, rotten timber frames, efflorescence (salt deposits) and rising damp.
Damp is very unsightly and will damage your interior decor. It’s also a health hazard and can cause breathing problems and skin problems for those who are sensitive to mould spores. It can also cause structural damage, particularly in wooden framed homes, which are more susceptible to wet rot. To find out more about damp proofing in Kent, contact our team today.
