Do you know what damp proofing is? Damp Proofing is an

important element to protecting your home from outside

moisture which can damage the property. It also prevents

moisture and water from getting into cracks that can lead to

bigger cracks or make your home become less stable.

Causes for Damps in Your Home:

Defects in roof coverings, flashing and valley gutters

Lack of gutters and downpipes

Floor cracks, broken walkways, and leaking balconies

Unsealed tops of walls and parapets

Inadequate drainage and much more….

Most Common Kinds of Damp Affecting Your Home:

Rising Damp

Penetrating Damp

Condensation Damp

If you ever notice water droplets on windows or walls, dark mould

appearing or an unpleasant smell, seek advice from a professional damp

specialist.

“Say NO” to Dampness

Damp can cause mould on walls and furniture and make window frames

rot. Damp cold housing encourages the growth of mould and mites, as

mites feed on moulds and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in

some people.

Damp Proofing – Why It Is Important!

Damp proofing works as a long term prevention to moisture decay. When

it comes to walls and foundations, damp proofing prevents moisture and

water passing through into interior spaces and can therefore prevent

furniture decay and structural damage such as dry rot, wet rot and rising

damp.
