What Is Damp Proofing?

Damp proofing is the process of preventing moisture from entering a building through walls, floors or foundations. Excess moisture can lead to damaged plaster, peeling paint, mould growth, timber decay and structural deterioration if left untreated.

Our specialists carry out a thorough inspection to determine the source of the problem before recommending the most appropriate treatment for your property.

If you’ve noticed any of the following, your property could benefit from professional damp proofing:

  • Damp patches on internal walls

  • Salt deposits on plaster or brickwork
  • Crumbling plaster
  • Black mould growth
  • Cold or damp internal walls

Early diagnosis can prevent more extensive and costly repairs.
