What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the process of protecting a structure from water damage. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including the use of cavity walls and damp proof courses. A damp proof course is a chemical treatment that creates an impermeable barrier in your walls to help prevent moisture from getting in from the ground.

Damp proof courses are a requirement in all homes and have been for a long time, but they are known to fail over time. Unfortunately, you won’t know that your damp proof course has failed until the signs of damp appear in your home. If you suspect you might have a damp problem in your property, a damp survey by Tapco Homedry can help to diagnose the problem and allow you to take steps to put it right.

Signs of damp in your home

The first step in stopping damp in your property is to learn how to spot the signs. Since damp can rise through the foundations and into your walls, it can take a while before the issue becomes more obvious. But in the background, the moisture can be causing considerable damage to your home, including structural damage to the cavity wall ties. Here are some of the most common signs of damp in UK properties:

  • A musty or earthy smell
  • Cold or damp patches on walls
  • Dark mould patches or white powdery deposits on surfaces
  • Peeling wallpaper and flaky paintwork
  • Warped floorboards, skirting boards or window sills
  • Discolouration on walls, floors or ceilings

If you spot any of these signs, get in touch with our team to arrange a damp survey. We can help to identify the source of the problem and then take action to put it right.

What are the benefits of professional damp proofing?

Professional damp proofing provides lasting protection against moisture ingress and can give you the peace of mind that will allow you to feel comfortable in your home again.

A damp home is difficult to keep warm and comfortable, and it can also cause health problems for the residents. By addressing the underlying issues, you can restore your property and keep the inhabitants safe from the risks associated with mould exposure.
