Inner Wall Waterproofing
Internal or Inner Wall Waterproofing is the process of making the interior of a house dry and free from water. Internal Waterproofing ensures that the inside of a huge stays dry irrespective of the state of water around the house outside.
What causes damp in internal walls?
There are three main risks that may lead to damp in internal walls: penetrating damp, internal spillage, and below ground damp.
Penetrating damp is usually seen in parts of the home that are highly susceptible to terrain penetration such as roofs, chimneys, and other exposed parts of the home. In places where access for maintenance is difficult and susceptible to terrain penetration, these parts of the building are even more prone to penetrating damp.
How to diagnose damp on inner walls
To diagnose damp on inner walls you should check your roof during wet and windy weather to determine if a spot on the ceiling is a dampceiling patch that is due to a leak in the roof or condensation from the weather. Broken slates, tiles and other debris on the ground or daylight seen inside lofts can also indicate potential roofing problems.
Check your plumbing to ensure there are no leaks. One way to check for leaks is to meter your water bill. If you have unusually high water bills or are constantly refilling the tank, you may have leakage.
When the internal walls of your home become damp, they create the perfect conditions for damp mould spores, and these spores are the worst kind of spores. Some types of damp mould can be deadly and they exist in an alarming number of homes across the UK.
