Damp Proofing

Damp Proofing Products

Water ingress can cause severe damage to a property, even structural failure. This often leads to major repair costs for the owners. You can use damp proofing products to prevent and control water ingress into a property and protect against these risks. Without adequate damp proofing, a building or structure will naturally deteriorate due to one or a combination of the following:

• Damp walls – causing de-bonding and deterioration of decorated surfaces. Read our guide to see your options for damp proofing walls. 
• Condensation – leading to the unhealthy spread of mould and rots
• Timber Decay & Wood Rot - wet and dry rot that could lead to structural failure
• Structural deterioration – the fabric of the building can deteriorate to a point where it needs major costly repair work to make it fit for its intended purpose.

Protect your property from water ingress

Whether this water ingress is above or below ground, we have a wide range of damp proofing and chemical DPC products to protect against or cure these problems:

• Rising Damp – you need a chemical damp proofing product that can be injected into the masonry to create a new chemical DPC and stop rising damp. Also, damp proofing membranes, waterproofing additives and pre-mixed renders that can be applied onto the walls after the new chemical DPC has been inserted. Read our post for more information on rendering after installing a new DPC. You can also opt for a durable polythene damp proof course . 
• Penetrating damp – chemical damp proofing products that include water repellents, damp proof paint for internal surfaces like walls and ceilings, and waterproofing membranes. Permagard is proud to stock all forms of damp proofing product to externally protect the structure from water penetrating into the substrate of the building. And interior damp proofing products to protect your decorations.
