Damp proofing is an essential household maintenance task that homeowners cannot ignore. Don’t assume that your home will stay protected.

Damp proofing has been a requirement in all homes in the UK since 1875, but the methods used to damp proof properties have changed a lot in this time. Even modern damp proofing methods may fail after 20-30 years, and they could fail even sooner if the installation was not done correctly. If you’re concerned about the potential widespread damage that damp can cause, book your damp proofing survey today.

For over 50 years, the Tapco Homedry damp proofing team has been helping residents of Banstead and the surrounding areas to overcome their damp problems. To effectively get rid of damp in your home, you first need to identify the source of the issue. Damp can be caused by moisture getting into your home from the outside, or it may be caused by everyday activity resulting in a buildup of moisture.
Once we have identified the source of the damp problem, we can then take action to put it right. This could mean installing a new damp proof course, or it could mean improving the air circulation in your home so that moisture does not build up and cause issues. If you are converting a basement, you could benefit from basement tanking to protect your space and your investment.
What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is a term given to any process that helps to protect a structure from moisture ingress. This includes the cavity wall and damp proof course to protect against rising damp, and the rendering and roof tiles that help to protect against penetrating damp. Moisture in your home can quickly spread and cause widespread damage – both structurally and cosmetically. It can also pose a health risk if the damp allows mould to thrive.
The damp proofing method we recommend in your home will all depend on the cause of the damp. We might recommend a damp proof course, which is a chemical treatment applied to your brickwork that creates an impermeable barrier. We might also recommend basement tanking for your cellar, basement or underground room to help protect against moisture getting through the small pores in your floors and walls.
