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.

Types of damp we treat
Rising damp
When capillary action causes water from the ground to rise via the walls, rising damp occurs. This type of damp promotes decay to masonry materials, including brick, mortar and stone.
Penetrating damp
This type of damp occurs when water from the outside seeps through your interior. Penetrating damp is caused by several building defects such as weakened mortar joints and old porous bricks.
