What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is simply the process of making a structure watertight. Water from the earth can pose a problem to homes as it can seep into the foundations of the structure and then rise into the living space, causing cold and wet conditions which make a home unpleasant to live in. 

Damp proofing often involves installing an impermeable membrane between the inside and outside to help keep moisture out. A damp proof course is one of the most common treatments for homes, followed by basement tanking for below ground rooms. Damp can also occur as a result of things like broken gutters, faulty rendering and cracked roof tiles. These will all allow moisture into your home where it can cause widespread damage and pose a risk to health.
