Frequently Asked Questions

At Watertight Homes, we answer common questions about our services, industry experience, guarantees, and how we address issues like damp, rot, and woodworm infestations.

What happens during damp proofing?

Damp proofing is a preventive measure against moisture damage in homes and commercial buildings. Most treatments involve using a special asphalt-based coating on walls and floors to stop damp from setting in.

Damp is usually a result of:

Rising damp Water seeping up into walls from the ground up
Poor heating and ventilation
Damaged windows door sealings letting in water ingress
Corroded water pipes set in walls
High ground levels
Defective pointing and guttering/roofing
High Condensation

UK properties are prone to having damp and mould problems due to the wet and cold climate. If left untreated, damp can give rise to rot infestation and internal deterioration of your property fabric.

In addition, excessive moisture promotes mould and mildew growth. Frequent exposure to mould can cause severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks and other respiratory problems.

What Are Common signs of damp?

The earlier you can recognise signs of damp in your property, the easier it is to take preventive measures and stop the problem from developing further.

Here are some signs to look out for:

Walls, floors or ceilings that feel cold or wet
White salt deposits left behind on the plaster
Decaying skirting boards and flooring
Flaking plaster or peeling wallpaper
Damp stains and tide marks on walls
Black and other discoloured mould spots on your walls or furniture
A lingering damp or musky smell around your property

Don’t let damp weaken your building structure and put occupants’ health at risk. If you suspect signs of dampness, call us on 0113 414 1329 or fill out our online form so we can tackle the problem immediately.
