What is damp proofing?

This is a broad term that includes a range of construction methods and interventions that will protect a structure from damp. The introduction of the cavity wall in construction helped to pave the way for better treatment of damp in the home. It is not standard to treat this wall with a damp proof course, which is a chemical treatment in the brickwork. This forms an impermeable moisture barrier that prevents damp getting into your home.

Damp can also come up through the walls and floor of your basement or cellar if the space is untreated. This space cannot be treated with a damp proof course, so we use basement tanking methods to help stop moisture ingress.

How do I spot the signs of damp?

As a homeowner, it’s helpful if you can identify the early signs of damp so that you can take action as quickly as possible. This can help to stop the spread of damp while also helping to prevent the more widespread damage associated with moisture ingress.

The first sign of damp is nearly always a musty smell or earthy odour. Signs of dampness can also be found behind larger pieces of furniture where there is limited airflow. On further inspection, you might discover the following issues in your home:

  • Peeling wallpaper and bubbling paintwork
  • Walls that are cold and wet to touch
  • Darker marks on walls and ceilings
  • Soft or warped floorboards
  • Build up of moisture on windows and external walls

All of these issues indicate that you have excess moisture in your home, and it’s essential that you uncover the source of the problem. It’s common for these issues to be more evident in the winter months when it is colder and there is a higher moisture level in the atmosphere.
