There are three main types of damp that can affect your property. Rising damp is caused by moisture from the ground being drawn up through walls due to a damaged or missing damp-proof course (DPC). Penetrating damp occurs when water enters horizontally through cracks, leaking gutters, or damaged roofs, often leaving damp patches on walls. Condensation damp happens when warm, humid air meets cold surfaces, leading to mould and water droplets. Identifying the type of damp is key to finding the right solution, whether it’s repairs, damp-proofing, or improved ventilation.
If left untreated, damp in the home can cause a range of serious issues to your home and your health. Therefore, if you think you have a problem with damp, it's very important to call in the professionals like us!
Damp proofing and installing a damp proof course (DPC) are essential solutions for protecting your home from moisture damage. A damp proof course is a barrier, typically made of waterproof material, installed within the walls to prevent rising damp, which can damage plaster, flooring, and timber. Damp proofing involves applying a protective layer to walls or floors to stop water from penetrating.
