What Causes Damp In Walls?
Dampness in your home can manifest itself in a variety of ways, emphasising the significance of early detection and effective damp proofing for property integrity.
Common damp indicators include:
- Floor Damp or Wet Patches: Common in basements or crawl spaces.
- Plaster or wallpaper deterioration is visible as crumbled plaster or peeling wallpaper.
- Rotting Wood: When exposed to moisture, wooden structures show signs of decay.
- Salt Deposits: These are white, powdery wall deposits that indicate rising dampness.
- Wall Discoloration (Dark or Stained Patches): Wall and ceiling discolouration.
- Paint Peeling or Bubbling: Paint blistering is caused by moisture.
- Mould Growth Visible: Spotted black, green, or white mould in damp conditions.
Recognising these signs is critical, and immediate action is required to prevent further property damage. Our damp-proofing specialists can locate the source and apply effective solutions.
Rising Damp Bedfordshire
Rising damp is caused by groundwater that rises through porous building materials, particularly masonry and bricks. We at Anke Damp Proofing understand the importance of addressing rising damp quickly and effectively. Our solutions are designed to protect your property while providing peace of mind.
What is A Damp Proof Course?
A damp proofing course (DPC) is a defence against building dampness. It prevents moisture from rising through walls or floors, averting various damp issues. Typically, a moisture-resistant barrier, often plastic or bitumen felt, is installed horizontally within the building’s walls or floors. Its main purpose is to create an impenetrable barrier against groundwater or moisture, preserving the structure’s integrity.
Damp-proofing courses are integral in modern construction, keeping properties dry and structurally sound. They maintain a comfortable and secure indoor environment while ensuring the building’s durability.

What Is A Damp Proof Membrane?
A damp-proof membrane (DPM) is a crucial component for safeguarding buildings against moisture intrusion. It serves as a specialised barrier, usually made from materials like plastic or bitumen felt, and is installed within the floors or walls of the structure.
The main function of a DPM is to establish an impermeable shield that prevents moisture, including groundwater and dampness, from rising or penetrating the building. It acts as a protective barrier against the adverse effects of moisture, such as dampness, mould growth, and structural damage.
In modern construction, damp-proof membranes are essential to maintain properties in a dry, secure, and structurally sound condition. They play a pivotal role in upholding a comfortable and healthy indoor environment while preserving the structural integrity and longevity of the building. At our company, this is what we specialise in.
