When you call in our expert team, we can help to diagnose your damp problem and identify the source. From there, we can implement the best possible solution for your problem. This could include installing a new damp proof course course to help prevent rising damp, or we might recommend basement tanking to enable you to use below ground rooms to prevent water ingress.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the method of making a home watertight and preventing water ingress from the outside environment, which could include water getting in through the foundations, walls or roof. The climate in the UK makes homes more susceptible to damp. This is because there is high rainfall coupled with a cooler climate. This means that homes are more likely to suffer from damp problems. 

Moisture in your home could be the result of poor ventilation, broken gutters, faulty rendering, burst pipes or cracked roof tiles. We can visit your property and get to the source of the problem before recommending steps to take to remedy this. The most common method for damp proofing a home is installation of a damp proof course, which is a chemical treatment that forms an impermeable barrier to stop moisture getting into your home.

How do you spot the signs of damp?

Homeowners can benefit from early intervention when it comes to dealing with damp. Getting familiar with the earliest signs of damp will help you to act quickly and take steps to stop the problem spreading further. Telltale signs of damp in your home include:

  • Water marks on the walls
  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Flaking paintwork
  • Rotten floorboards
  • Warped door frames
  • Dark mould patches on the walls
  • An earthy or musty smell
  • Walls that are cold to the touch
  • Moisture build up on windows

Remember that these signs might be concealed behind large pieces of furniture, or the damage might be concealed under carpets or behind wallpaper. The damage might be more extensive by the time it is visible. This is why you need to be vigilant throughout the colder months and look for signs of damp in your home.
