Looking for damp proofing in Reigate?

For the past 50 years, Tapco Homedry has been helping the residents of Reigate to achieve damp-free homes that are safe and comfortable to live in. Damp can cause widespread problems for a family; it can cause health problems for residents while also causing structural damage to the home. Acting promptly at the first signs of damp is essential.

We can assist with a wide range of damp problems, including rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Even if you don’t know the origins of your damp problem, we can still help. We’ll start with an extensive survey of your property to identify the likely cause of your damp problem. If you’ve recently bought the property and don’t know the history, this can be a helpful step to ensure you stop any hidden problems from getting much worse.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing helps to protect a structure from water ingress. It also allows a property to breathe, so moisture generated inside doesn’t build up and cause problems. Damp proofing is a requirement in all new builds and has been for a long time. The most common form of damp proofing is a combination of cavity walls and a damp proof course. However, this treatment can fail over time.

When a DPC fails, this can allow water to enter your property. And it might not be immediately obvious that anything is wrong. As water penetrates the walls of your home, it will climb the internal structure and eventually make its way into floorboards, walls and ceilings. A failed damp proof course can also damage your cavity wall ties, which can lead to structural problems.

  • Cold or wet patches on walls
  • Peeling wallpaper of flaky paintwork
  • Crumbling or warped floorboards, skirting boards or window sills
  • Dark mould patches or white powdery deposits on surfaces
  • Discolouration on walls, floors and ceilings
