What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the name given to any process that helps to make a structure watertight and protect it against water ingress. With these measures in place, a home will be safe from the damaging effects of damp, including black mould and mildew. These side effects can cause widespread health issues for inhabitants, particularly the very young and the very old.

The most common method of damp proofing in the UK is the installation of a damp proof course. This is a chemical treatment that creates an impermeable barrier in the cavity wall of your home. By waterproofing this layer, you can prevent water ingress from seeping up from your foundations. Basement tanking is also popular for below ground spaces where a damp proof course would be ineffective.

Spotting the signs of damp

Learning to spot the signs of damp in your home can help you to keep it safe by stopping the damage from spreading too far. By taking swift action at the first sign that something is amiss, you can safeguard your home.

Common signs of a damp include:

  • Water marks on your walls and ceiling
  • Peeling wallpaper or crumbling paintwork
  • Warped wooden doorways and window frames
  • Rotten floorboards or skirting boards
  • Mould patches on walls and furniture
  • Walls that are cold to the touch
  • Moisture buildup on windows
  • A musty or earthy smell

Remember that damp will often build up in less visible spots, such as behind your furniture. If you notice a damp smell, don’t ignore it, as it could be a sign of a more widespread problem that is just in a hard to reach area.
