Damp proofing services in Biggin Hill
Damp proofing is essential for all homes and is implemented during construction as standard. However, ageing damp proofing measures and errors during the installation can lead to these measures failing prematurely and unexpectedly. This can leave your property vulnerable to damage from moisture ingress. To help prevent this, we can implement new damp proofing measures to keep your home dry, cosy and warm.
Damp proofing measures will vary depending on the location of the moisture ingress and the nature of your property. The most common method that homeowners are aware of is a damp proof course. This is a chemical treatment placed in the brickwork to create an impermeable barrier that keeps moisture out. We also recommend basement tanking for below ground rooms. To find out which methods are right for your property, get in touch to arrange a damp survey.
What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is simply the process of protecting a structure against moisture ingress. We use a range of physical barriers and chemical treatments to help keep moisture out of your home. Many household activities will also generate moisture, such as cooking and showering, and poor ventilation can enable this to build up and lead to mould and mildew throughout your home.
Damp proofing is also necessary if you are extending your home or converting parts of your home. For instance, if you are building a conservatory extension, you will need to ensure these foundations are protected. Likewise, if you are converting your basement or cellar into a functional living space, you need to ensure water cannot get into this space. Your basement or cellar might seem dry, but once you start to use the space, it can quickly become evident that you have a damp problem.
