Damp Proofing Specialist In Owslebury

Looking for a damp proofing expert in Owslebury? Trust Tapco Homedry to deliver a prompt and professional service to get your damp problem under control. Damp proofing is an essential step for all properties to help protect against moisture ingress. Even if your property has been protected against damp, these measures may fail over time.

Damp proofing measures will typically last for around 20 years, but this could fail sooner due to installation faults and issues with your home. If this happens, your home will not be protected against the issues related to moisture ingress, including mould and mildew. Damp may also cause structural issues if it corrodes your cavity wall ties.

 

Damp proofing services in Owslebury

We offer a wide range of damp proofing services, including everything you need to identify and eradicate damp from your home. You don’t have to know the cause of your damp problem; our team can identify the issues and then provide recommendations to put things right. Left untreated, damp could lead to higher energy bills, health issues for residents and it could even cause structural problems. 

The first stage to our damp proofing service in Owslebury is to carry out a comprehensive damp survey to find the cause of your damp issue. It could be an issue with your damp proof course, rising damp from your basement, a burst pipe or a broken roof tile. We’ll find the cause of the problem and then offer recommendations for how to address the issue and restore your property to its former state.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is simply any process that protects a structure from water ingress. This could include a damp proof course or basement tanking to help protect against rising damp. It could also include fixing issues with your roof or rendering to help keep rainwater out. And it could even include adjusting how you use your home to help prevent moisture from everyday activities from building up indoors.

In below ground rooms, we will often recommend basement tanking. This is more effective than a damp proof course for below ground rooms where we have to deal with the challenge of hydrostatic pressure. In short, there are chemical interventions and physical barriers we can use to reduce the chances of moisture getting into your property from the outside. We will offer our recommendations in a comprehensive report so you can decide how to tackle the issue.

How do I spot the signs of damp?

As a homeowner, we recommend familiarising yourself with the early signs of damp so you can take action quickly. If left untreated, dampness in your home can cause widespread damage. 

Remember that the first signs of damp might be in less visible places such as behind large pieces of furniture, as such, the first sign is often an earthy or musty smell. You might also identify the following issues:

  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Flaking paintwork or blistered paintwork
  • Warped and soft floorboards
  • Mould patches on walls, ceilings and floors
  • Walls that are cold and damp to touch
  • Excess moisture on your windows

If you notice these issues in your home, call our expert team to arrange a survey.
