Damp proofing in Blindley Heath
Damp proofing is an essential home maintenance task that should not be ignored. Damp problems will not go away on their own, so it’s vital that you take steps to intervene at the first signs of dampness in your home. Damp may be caused by moisture getting into your home from the outside, usually through a faulty damp proof course or as the result of a broken roof tile. It could also be caused by poor ventilation inside which allows moisture from everyday activities like cooking and showering to build up in your home.
The first step in dealing with damp is to understand the cause. We achieve this through a damp proofing report that assesses the cause of your damp problem and our suggested intervention. You are under no obligation to follow the advice in our report, but we would highly recommend it. We will often suggest multiple steps to help put your property right, including damp proofing and fixing the secondary issues caused by damp.
What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is any intervention to help protect a property against moisture ingress. It’s a common step in the building process and a damp proof course has been a building requirement since 1875. However, these measures are known to fail after 20-30 years, and could fail prematurely if there is a fault in the installation. When this happens, you need to take action to put things right to protect your property.
Damp proofing could include a new damp proof course, which is a chemical injection that prevents moisture from getting into your home through the foundations. Another method is basement tanking, which is required before converting a basement or cellar into a functional living space. This involves painting the floors and walls with a waterproofing slurry that cures into an impermeable barrier against moisture.
