Damp proofing is not just a home maintenance task; it is an investment in the future of your property that will help to safeguard its integrity for decades to come. By choosing to invest in damp proofing services, you can protect your home in West Byfleet from the dangers posed by damp.

While damp proofing is commonly provided in many new build homes and retrofitted to older properties, there is always the risk these measures could fail. This will leave your property at risk of damage from water ingress. The signs of damp are often only noticeable once the issue has become widespread, so taking a proactive approach can help to save your property, decor and possessions from damp damage.

At Tapco Homedry, we offer extensive damp proofing services for properties of all types. This includes new-build homes and heritage properties with extensive history. Our professional and courteous team will attend your property to carry out an extensive damp survey to determine the cause and extent of your damp problem. 

Once we know the source of your issues, we can then present a range of remedies to help restore your property and prevent further damage. This could include repairing and reinstalling your damp proof course to protect your home from rising damp. We might also recommend basement tanking for below ground rooms to help prevent water from entering your home through the small pores in your basement walls.

Spotting the signs of damp

As a homeowner, you can protect your property by simply being aware of the signs of damp in your home. Remember that damp can only be concealed in hard to reach areas, such as behind your furniture. As such, you may need to use all of your senses to detect when there is a damp issue in your home. The typical telltale signs of damp include:

  • Peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork
  • Warped or rotten floorboards and skirting boards
  • Walls that are cold and moist to the touch
  • An earthy or musty smell
  • Black mould patches on walls and behind furniture
  • Water marks on the walls, floor or ceiling

If you cannot easily find the source of the moisture that is causing the damp problem, it’s time to call in the professionals. Our team will use professional tools and the latest techniques to identify the source of your damp problem and then offer our recommendations for putting it right.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the process of making a structure watertight and protecting it from water ingress. In places like West Byfleet, the local climate means that properties are at greater risk of damp damage. High rainfall coupled with a cooler climate and high humidity levels means that properties are at greater risk of suffering from damp.

While most properties will have a damp proof course installed, these measures can fail over time. And if there are issues with broken gutters, faulty rendering, cracked roof tiles or burst pipes, you could soon face a damp problem in your home. To remedy this, we recommend keeping a close eye out for the signs of damp in your home so you can take action quickly.
