What Exactly Is Damp Proofing?

Damp proofing is a method used in buildings to prevent damp from entering properties through floors and walls. Any building, especially older properties built without a damp management system, might suffer from damp-related concerns. There are two types of damp issues: rising damp and penetrating damp. Whatever form of moisture problem your property is experiencing, our Enfield damp proofing experts will locate and treat it.

Can Damp Damage Structures?

Damp can compromise the structural stability of an Enfield building. Outside, the mortar may break, and salt streaks may appear on the walls. When steel and iron fasteners rust, the structure deteriorates. In severe circumstances, the mortar or plaster of an infected wall may break off. Furthermore, moisture has the potential to cause secondary harm to a home. Excess moisture encourages the growth of various wood fungi, resulting in health issues that can eventually contribute to the so-called sick building syndrome. Furthermore, humidity causes plaster and paint to deteriorate, as well as wallpaper to peel.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) controls moisture by using a separate membrane that is applied to the building. A DPM controls moisture by using polyethene material placed beneath a concrete slab. Water and moisture, such as rain, are protected from structures by this type of covering. It is also made of cement, similar to shotcrete, which can withstand dampness, water, and pressure. The construction of cavity walls creates a space between the inner and outside walls to keep water out, whereas pressure grouting is used to fill any gaps in masonry walls.
