What is damp proofing?

Every property should have damp proofing measures in place to protect against moisture ingress. The most common method is called a damp proof course, and this is a chemical injection into your foundations that helps to prevent moisture rising up from the earth. While this is commonly installed during construction, it is known to fail over time.

When this happens, you may need to consider renewing or replacing your damp proof course to help restore your protection. If a home has been left vacant for a long time, you may notice the impact of damp more acutely, as the damage is likely to be more widespread. With our help, we can get the damp problem under control and take steps to prevent it from returning.

Spotting the signs of damp

As a homeowner, it’s important that you feel confident spotting the first signs of damp, as this can help to prevent the damage from becoming more widespread. The early signs might not be very obvious, so it’s important to pay close attention to subtle changes in your home, such as a change in smell, or if your home becomes more difficult to heat.

The first sign of damp is usually a bad smell, which is often described as musty or earthy. If you notice you have a bad smell in your home, it’s worth investigating the origin. On further inspection, you might find:

  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Blistered paintwork
  • Warped floorboards
  • Cold walls
  • Moisture build up on walls and windows
  • Dark water marks on the floor or ceiling

If the issue is rising damp, the damage will be concentrated closer to the ground, and with leaks and broken roof tiles, you might spot the damage on your ceiling. If you have noticed any of these problems in your home, get in touch with Tapco Homedry.
