WHY PRIORITISE DAMP PROOFING?
Damp proofing is usually an unplanned expense and not something people get excited about as they would for a kitchen make-over. But, when you have damp, you'd better believe that it is critical to have it seen to soonest, because:
the building's structural integrity is at stake
damp causes a health and safety issue
harm or damage could elicit legal liability
ingress leads to further (more costly) damage to other components
damp causes rot in wood, corrosion in metals & crumbling masonry
damp causes mildew and mold which produces mycotoxins & aflatoxins (known carcinogens)
it can cause a serious, even deadly, health risk
damp attracts pests like termites
it increases heating and cooling costs
it reduces your property's value significantly
waiting will always end up costing you MORE!
