Damp Proofing for Brickwork and Masonry

Waterproofing Walls, Masonry and Brickwork to protect against Water Ingress and Penetrating Damp

With climate change mostly to blame, the winter months in recent years across the UK seem to be getting warmer and wetter. This has created additional problems for homeowners who worry about keeping their homes warm and dry through the winter. Keeping walls dry and protected from damp is no easy task and most homeowners don’t know what to do when faced with problems arising from water ingress. If external walls are not adequately protected from water ingress, this can soon lead to penetrating damp and all the associated problems it brings.

Penetrating damp caused by too much moisture ‘leeching’ through poorly protected external walls can cause all sorts of issues that can be expensive to fix if not addressed early enough. Health issues in particular cause by damp, are a major cause for concern to most homeowners, especially families with children or the elderly. Black mould on internal walls is a particular problem that often starts and spreads because of damp getting into a property. Many people have lifelong respiratory issues that originated from living in properties where black mould has spread on internal walls.
