Damp Proofing South East London

Long-Lasting, High Quality Damp Proofing For Your South East London Home

If you’re living in South East London and are experiencing problems with damp, A&L Property Maintenance can help

Damp is a very common problem here in the UK. Damp, unfortunately, may cause significant damage to a property in a short period of time, rotting timbers causing paint to flake, and damaging wallpaper. Damp is a natural substance that builds up in the walls and floor of your home. If left unchecked, damp may eventually cause structural damage to your property. It can also promote mould growth throughout the house, which might be hazardous to both you and your family’s health.

If you think you have a damp problem, contact A&L Property Maintenance. Our family-owned business has a team of experienced tradesmen that are masters at recognising the sources of damp and putting effective damp proofing procedures in place.

What Causes Damp In Buildings?

There are a variety of reasons why your basement might be damp. However, the most frequent causes are:

Rising damp

When water rises up through the bricks and mortar of a structure by capillary action due to ground water. This happens frequently after a building’s foundations have been damaged.

Incorrectly installed damp proof course

A layer of impermeable material (usually plastic) that is installed at the bottom of a wall to stop rising damp. If this is not done properly, water will still rise up the wall.

Leaking gutters and downpipes

If the rainwater isn’t diverted away from the house properly, it will often leak into the basement through cracks in the walls and foundations.

Penetrating damp

If rain water is leaking through the roof, walls, or windows, it can get into the building’s inner structure, causing damp. This type of damp is often caused by a defective roof, faulty down pipes, leaking gutters, damaged masonry, or defective window/door seals.

Incorrect building materials

Some types of construction materials, such as concrete, are more prone to dampness than others. If your home was built with these materials, you may be more likely to experience damp problems.

Drainage problems

If water can’t drain away from the property properly, it will sit and cause dampness. This is often a problem with older buildings that have not been updated to current drainage standards.

Condensation damp

Excess moisture in the air, as well as poor ventilation, is one of the most common causes. It can be the result of cooking, bathing, or even just breathing.

Water seeping in from outside

If your property isn’t properly sealed, water can seep in from the ground and cause damp.

Leakage

Water that enters a building through cracks in the roof, walls, or windows.
