What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing refers to a range of measures that will help to safeguard your property against water ingress and the associated damage. Moisture can find its way into your home from a range of sources, so it’s vital that homeowners remain on top of this threat. If water is able to get into your home, this could create the perfect conditions for issues like mould, mildew and dry rot.
The most common form of damp proofing is a damp proof course. This is placed into the brickwork of your cavity wall to help stop rising damp getting into your property. We also offer measures such as basement tanking, which is better suited to below ground rooms where a damp proof course cannot function. We also offer damp proof surveys to help you to understand the risk factors facing your property.

How do I spot the signs of damp?
Being aware of the early signs of damp can help you to nip this issue in the bud before it becomes a much more extensive problem. The early stages of a damp problem might not be visible, but you may be able to smell an earthy or musty odour.
Damp issues might also be present in lesser seen parts of your home, such as in corners or behind large pieces of furniture where there is less air circulation. On further inspection, you could discover the following issues:
- Peeling wallpaper
- Blistering paintwork
- Warped and soft floorboards
- Dark patches of mould on walls, ceilings and floors
- Walls that are cold to touch
- Excess moisture on windows and exterior facing walls
If you notice these issues in your home, call our expert team to arrange a survey.
