What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is quite simply the process of protecting a structure against moisture. This could include commercial or residential properties of all construction types. Common methods for damp proofing homes in the UK includes damp proof courses, which is a chemical injection into the brickwork that creates an impermeable barrier to damp. This also helps to protect against mould growth.

If you need to damp proof a room below ground, such as a basement or cellar, we would use a method like tanking. This involves painting the walls and floor with a mixture that cures into an impermeable barrier. We can also use channels to pump water out of the basement and turn it into a functional living space. This often helps to increase the value of a property. If you are planning an extension, we recommend consulting with a damp proofing expert.
