What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is a term that can be applied to a wide range of methods intended to stop moisture from getting into a structure. It is commonly implemented during construction, but these methods could be outdated in older properties, or they may fail over time. Keeping moisture out of your home is the best way to keep it warm and comfortable.

Methods could include a new damp proof course (DPC) which will help to prevent rising damp in above ground rooms. For basements and cellars, we would likely recommend a form of basement tanking to help keep this space dry and protected.

We can also advise you on how your everyday habits might be leading to excess moisture building up in your home.

How do you spot the signs of damp?

As a homeowner, one of the best things you can do to protect your home against damp is to learn the early signs of damp in your property. This will enable you to act quickly as soon as a problem arises. The first sign of damp is often not visible, so you’ll need to use your other senses. Be wary of damp and musty odours in your home, as this is often the first sign of moisture ingress.

Upon further inspection, you might notice the following issues:

  • Damp or peeling wallpaper
  • Blistered paintwork
  • Soft floorboards and skirting boards
  • Dark patches on the walls, ceiling or floors
  • Build up of moisture on windows
  • Walls that are cold and wet to the touch

If you suspect you’ve spotted these signs in your home, it’s time to take action. The longer you leave the issue, the more severe the damage will be. What starts as cosmetic damage can quickly become structural.
