What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is a term that applies to a wide range of methods and measures. They are all intended to help protect a property against moisture ingress. The most popular form of damp proofing that most people have heard of is a damp proof course. This is a chemical treatment for the brickwork of a building to create an impermeable moisture barrier. Another method for damp proofing below ground rooms is called basement tanking. We can help to identify the best course of action for your home.

Spotting the signs of damp
As a property owner, it’s helpful if you are aware of the early signs of damp so that you can act quickly. You may need to use all of your senses to detect damp in your home, as it can take a while for the signs to become visible. A musty or earthy odour is often the first sign that something is amiss and should warrant further inspection.
When you start looking for the signs of damp, you might notice the following:
- Wallpaper that is damp or peeling
- Blistered paintwork
- Warped and soft floorboards
- Mould on walls behind furniture
- Dark patches on the walls, ceiling or floors
- Excess moisture on windows
- Walls that feel cold and wet to the touch
