What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the term given to any measure that helps to make a structure watertight. Modern buildings are at risk of damage if moisture is able to build up inside. A damp structure will also feel much colder and will be more expensive to heat. It can also lead to a wide range of health problems for the inhabitants.

Most properties will have damp proofing measures installed as standard, but these can fail over time. There might also be issues with the structure of your home, such as broken gutters, faulty rendering, broken roof tiles or even burst pipes that can lead to a buildup of moisture in your home. To prevent this moisture from causing damage, you need to take action quickly at the first signs of dampness.
