What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is the process of protecting a structure against moisture damage. Moisture can get into your home from a number of routes, including seeping up through your foundations. A damp proof course is the most popular method for protecting the structure from damage related to moisture. A damp proof course is a chemical injection that creates a barrier to stop moisture passing from your foundations into your home.
For below ground rooms where a damp proof course would be less effective, we can recommend basement tanking to help protect the space from water that seeps in through the walls and floor. This can help to turn a cold and damp space into a warm and inviting space that is ready for a makeover. We achieve this by applying a waterproofing mixture to the walls and floor that will dry to create a barrier.

How do I spot the signs of damp?
It’s important that you are on the lookout for the early signs of damp, as this issue can cause widespread problems if left unchecked. Remember that damp will often appear on hard to reach areas first, such as behind large items of furniture. As such, the first sign you notice will often be a musty or earthy odour. You might also spot the following signs:
- Peeling wallpaper
- Flaking paintwork or blistered paintwork
- Warped and soft floorboards
- Mould patches on walls, ceilings and floors
- Walls that are cold and damp to touch
- Excess moisture on your windows
If you notice these issues in your home, call our expert team to arrange a survey.
