Damp Proofing Specialist In Bagshot

Damp proofing is not something that homeowners can ignore. Don’t assume that your home will always be protected from damp, as many damp proofing methods can fail over time. These methods can also fail as a result of poor installation. If you suspect you have a damp proofing problem in your Bagshot home, get in touch with Tapco Homedry today.

Damp proofing measures are required in all homes, but methods have changed since this rule was first introduced in 1875. With most damp proofing measures lasting between 20-30 years, there is also the chance that your home could eventually suffer damp problems due to outdated or faulty damp proofing. To protect your home in Bagshot from the damage caused by damp, get in touch with our team.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing simply refers to a wide range of measures that help to protect any structure against moisture ingress. Moisture and building materials don’t mix well and excess damp can cause widespread structural and cosmetic damage if left untreated. To remedy this, we recommend seeing expert help to deal with your damp problem at the first sign of an issue. Damp won’t go away on its own, so you need to take action at the first sign of excess moisture, mould or mildew on your property.

The damp proofing methods you require will depend on the type of damp. Rising damp will require a new damp proof course to stop moisture getting into your home from the groundwater outside. Basement tanking is ideal for below-ground rooms where hydrostatic pressure forces water in through tiny pores in the walls and floor. And sometimes, dampness may be caused by everyday activities like using the shower and cooking.

How can I spot the signs of damp?

The most common visible signs of damp include: 

  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Flaking paintwork
  • Warped or rotten floorboards
  • Warped doorways
  • Mould patches on walls and ceilings
  • Wall that are cold to the touch
