The right treatment depends on the cause, which may involve rising damp, penetrating damp, or below-ground waterproofing issues. How do I know if my property needs damp proofing? ----------------------------------------------------- Common signs include damp patches, peeling finishes, musty smells, mould growth, staining at low level, or walls that keep deteriorating after decoration. A proper survey helps confirm the cause. How long does damp proofing last? ------------------------------------- That depends on the cause of the problem, the system used, and the condition of the building. Properly specified and properly installed remedial work should perform far better than repeated cosmetic patch repairs. Is damp proofing expensive? ------------------------------- Costs vary depending on the size of the affected area, the cause of the damp, the amount of preparation required, and whether waterproofing or replastering is needed. The first step is a clear quote based on the actual issue. Can I stay in my home during damp proofing? ----------------------------------------------- Often yes, although it depends on the area being treated and the scale of the work. We explain access requirements up front so you know what disruption to expect before the job starts. What is tanking? -------------------- Tanking is a waterproofing approach used to protect below-ground spaces such as basements and cellars from water ingress. The correct system depends on the construction, condition, and how the space will be used. Where suitable, waterproof membranes and associated detailing can help keep walls and floors dry and make the space more reliable for storage or future use.
