What is Damp Proofing?

Damp proofing is the process of preventing moisture or water from entering or accumulating within a building structure through the walls and floor. It involves sealing wall cavities, creating barriers such as damp proof course membranes between walls, floors and ceilings, and treating the exterior of the building. Not only does this help to protect against structural damage caused by water ingress, it also prevents mould build-up which can be harmful to your health if not dealt with properly.

We know that damp can cause serious damage to both the structure and contents of your home, so we will ensure that you receive the right treatment for the job. We understand that there are many different types of dampness which can affect homes in Chelsea, including rising damp and penetrating damp. We use a range of methods to tackle damp, including cavity wall insulation, dry lining and basement tanking.

Common Causes of Damp in Chelsea Properties

Damp usually occurs when excess moisture enters a building because of broken pipes or poorly insulated walls and floors. However, in Chelsea, dampness can arise for many reasons including extreme weather such as heavy rainfall; leaks due to poor plumbing work; faulty construction materials; rising damp from failed waterproof membranes on external walls; and the age of period properties common in the area.

Learning to spot the common signs of damp is one of the best ways to ensure you can act before the problem becomes more widespread. Common signs of damp include:

  • Peeling paint or wallpaper
  • Musty smells
  • Dark patches on walls or ceilings
  • Mould growth
  • White powdery deposits on walls
  • Warped skirting boards
