What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is simply a process of protecting a structure against moisture. The most common method for damp proofing a home is a damp proof course. This is a chemical treatment that is injected into the brickwork of your cavity wall to stop moisture from rising into your home from the ground. This is standard in all homes, but it is a type of protection that can fail over time. After around 20-30 years, a damp proof course might not be as effective.

Another common method for damp proofing a home is known as basement tanking. This method is used for rooms below ground where hydrostatic pressure from the outside forces moisture through the small pores in your basement walls and floor. This can lead to unexplained pooling in your basement. Basement tanking covers your floor and walls with an impermeable barrier that keeps moisture out and prevents damage.
