Damp Proofing Specialist In West Horsley
Proper damp proofing is essential for homeowners in West Horsley. It is not just a home maintenance task to tick off a long list, it is an investment in your future and a simple way to safeguard your property for decades to come. Professional damp proofing can also help to unlock more livable space in your home, so you can expand your current space instead of moving.
Damp proofing is a requirement for all new-build homes and it is also commonly retrofitted on older properties to offer additional protection. However, not many people know that these measures have a lifespan and they are also known to fail on occasion. You often won’t know you have an issue with damp until it is too late and the damage is already done. This is why it pays to be attentive and proactive against damp.

Spotting the signs of damp
One of the simplest ways that homeowners can protect their properties is by being aware of the early signs of damp. Remember that damp will often appear in difficult to reach areas, such as behind furniture, so you need to be vigilant and use all of your senses in detecting damp. The typical telltale signs of damp include:
- Peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork
- Warped or rotten floorboards and skirting boards
- Walls that are cold and moist to the touch
- An earthy or musty smell
- Black mould patches on walls and behind furniture
- Water marks on the walls, floor or ceiling
If you don’t know where your damp problem is coming from, you may need to call in the professionals to utilise the latest methods to find the source of the damp. We can then offer recommendations for how to put things right.
