Damp Proofing

Damp Proofing Specialists

Dampness is one of the most common problems affecting homes in the UK. Unresolved damp can cause severe damage to your home and seriously compromise the structural integrity of the building.

It is imperative that you don’t ignore signs of damp, no matter how small they may be. Not every damp patch is a cause for concern, and when it comes to identifying what’s affecting your home it can be relatively straightforward to determine the cause.

It is important to determine the source of water ingress before taking any remedial damp proofing action.

Effects Of Dampness

Movement of moisture or the presence of excessive amounts of moisture in building materials can result in salt staining, plaster deterioration, or spoiling of decorations. Timbers that are subjected to continual dampness are at risk from wood-destroying fungi (wet and dry rot).
