What is damp proofing?

All properties should have some form of damp proofing in place to protect them against rising damp. Unfortunately, these methods are known to break down over time or might fail without warning. Shifts in your foundations or poor installation of a damp proof course could lead it to become ineffective. If this happens, your home will be vulnerable to damage from rising damp.

Rising damp is more than just a cosmetic problem. It can make your home feel cold and uncomfortable, as it will be more difficult to heat. It can also lead to secondary issues, such as broken cavity wall ties or toxic mould. To protect your home, you need a functioning damp proof course which will help to prevent damp rising up from your foundations.

How do you spot the signs of damp?

Homeowners can save themselves a lot of stress by learning to spot the signs of damp early so they can respond accordingly. Knowing when to take action is essential and could mean the difference between fixing mild cosmetic problems, to fixing more expensive structural problems.

The first sign that you have damp in your home is often a bad smell. If you notice a musty or earthy smell that won’t go away, it could be worth investigating further. Further inspection might reveal the following issues:

  • Blistering or peeling paintwork or wallpaper, often near to the ground
  • Walls that feel cold or wet to the touch
  • Darker water marks on the walls or the ceiling
  • Soft or warped floorboards
  • Excessive moisture on windows

If the moisture is coming from your foundations, the issues will be visible close to the ground. If there is a leak in your plumbing or roof, the issues might be visible on your ceiling. If you’ve spotted any signs of dampness in your home, book a home survey and quote with our team so you can plan your next steps.
