Maintaining a dry, healthy home is essential, especially for owners of period properties in rural areas.

Protecting your property from the elements.

Damp can cause serious structural damage, compromise indoor air quality, and lead to the growth of harmful mold and mildew. That’s why the experts at Peninsula Custom Construction are dedicated to providing top-quality damp proofing services to homeowners throughout Tavistock, Devon, and Plymouth.

6 reasons why damp proofing is necessary?

1

Structural integrity

Excess moisture can weaken the integrity of your home’s foundations, walls, and other structural elements, leading to costly repairs down the line.

2

Indoor air quality

Damp conditions promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and other health problems.

3

Energy efficiency

Damp walls and floors compromise a home’s insulation, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder and increasing your energy bills.

4

Property value

Visible signs of damp can significantly decrease the value of your home, making it less appealing to prospective buyers.

5

Aesthetic appeal

Damp can cause unsightly discoloration, staining, and deterioration of your home’s interior and exterior surfaces.

6

Pest infestations

Excess moisture creates the ideal conditions for pests like woodworm, dry rot, and various insects to thrive, further compromising your home’s structural and aesthetic integrity.
