Do you know what damp proofing is? Damp Proofing is an
important element to protecting your home from outside
moisture which can damage the property. It also prevents
moisture and water from getting into cracks that can lead to
bigger cracks or make your home become less stable.

“Say NO” to Dampness
Damp can cause mould on walls and furniture and make window frames
rot. Damp cold housing encourages the growth of mould and mites, as
mites feed on moulds and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in
some people.

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 and can therefore prevent
furniture decay and structural damage such as dry rot, wet rot and rising
damp.
