What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is quite simply the process of preventing moisture from getting into a structure. Building materials and moisture do not mix well, and damp structures will break down over time. Dampness in a home is also a health hazard and will make the space less comfortable and cosy. Damp proofing simply removes the risk of damp building up in your home.

The type of damp proofing measures used will depend on the location of the issue. A damp proof course is a chemical injection process that will create an impermeable barrier in your cavity wall to prevent rising damp. Basement tanking involves covering the walls and floor of your basement in a waterproof layer to stop water entering your home through the small pores in the brickwork. This method can help to make your cellar or basement a usable living space.

How do I spot the signs of damp?

As a homeowner, it’s essential that you know the signs of damp so you can act quickly and prevent the damage from spreading further. Remember that damp often builds up on hidden parts of your home where there is less ventilation, such as behind large items of furniture. This is why the musty smell is often the first sign that something is amiss.

Here are some of the most common signs of damp to look out for:

  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Flaking paintwork
  • Warped or rotten floorboards
  • Warped doorways
  • Mould patches on walls and ceilings
  • Wall that are cold to the touch
  • Moisture buildup on windows

If you notice any of these signs in your home, call our expert team to find out what to do next.
