WHAT IS DAMP PROOFING

Explaining damp proofing, what it is and why its important

WHAT EXACTLY IS DAMP PROOFING?

What is damp proofing? In short, damp proofing is a generic term to describe the variety of damp proofing treatments applied to prevent damp problems affecting your property. However, damp proofing is more commonly known as a type of waterproofing for constructed walls where a damp proofing barrier (commonly known as a damp proof course or DPC) is placed in walls or floors.

WHAT IS 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. Moreover, a healthy and fit for purpose damp proofing course will help prevent timber decay and structural damage by stopping moisture from reaching timbers within the property and thus helping to prevent outbreaks of dry rot and wet rot.

DO MY WALLS CURRENTLY HAVE DAMP PROOFING?


When a building is constructed, a preventative damp proof course is generally installed into the base of the walls in the form of a plastic membrane or slate barrier. This is to prevent damp rising through the fabric wall. If it is the case however, that you are noticing damp climbing up the walls or damp issues appearing within a property, then is is typically a symptom to something not being right within the property.
