Damp can quickly cause a cascade of secondary issues, including problems with your cavity wall ties and structural problems as a result of dry rot.

The young and the old in particular are most at risk of health issues due to damp and mould.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is a term that includes any method intended to protect a home against water ingress. It could also include measures to prevent moisture build up from household activities. We use methods such as a damp proof course (DPC) to stop rising damp getting into your property. We can also use methods like basement tanking for below ground rooms. And finally, we can advise on how to improve airflow in your home to prevent a buildup of moisture.

Spotting the signs of damp

As a property owner, it’s vital that you are able to spot the early signs of damp so you can take action quickly. The first signs are often not visible, so you’ll need to use all of your senses to track down the source. The first sign of damp is often a musty or earthy odour that will prompt further inspection.

You might also notice mould on some surfaces, often behind furniture or on outside walls. You should also look out for the following signs of more advanced damp issues:

  • Damp or peeling wallpaper
  • Blistered paintwork
  • Warped and soft floorboards
  • Darker patches on the walls, ceiling or floors
  • Excess moisture on windows
  • Walls that feel cold to the touch

If you notice any of these signs in your home, get in touch with our team to arrange a damp proofing survey to get to the bottom of the issue.
