What is damp proofing?

All properties need some form of damp proofing in place to protect against rising damp from the moisture in the earth around your home. The most common method is called a damp proof course, and this is a chemical injection into your brickwork that helps to create a moisture barrier in your cavity wall. This prevents rising damp working its way up the walls into your home.

A damp proof course is mandatory in all buildings, but these measures can fail over time. We also have more effective methods available today that might not have been around when your home was first constructed. Thankfully, we can retrofit a new damp proof course without severe disruption to your home.

Spotting the signs of damp

Homeowners can save themselves a lot of stress and financial trouble by learning to spot the early signs of damp. Catching a damp problem early can prevent it from becoming more widespread and leading to structural damage. Pay close attention to new smells in your home, as a damp and musty odour is often the first sign of a damp issue.

Upon further inspection, you might discover the following issues:

  • Cold walls
  • Moisture build up on walls and windows
  • Dark water marks on the floor or ceiling
  • Peeling wallpaper
  • Blistered paintwork
  • Warped or soft floorboards and skirting boards

When you are dealing with rising damp, damage is often found closer to the ground, and with damp related to broken roof times, the damage is more likely to be found on ceilings. With leaking pipework, the damage could be anywhere.
