Damp Proofing Services
Dampness can rise from the ground, penetrate through walls, or build up from trapped moisture, gradually damaging paint, plaster and indoor air quality. SGM Waterproofing Services applies damp-proofing treatments to reduce moisture affecting walls and lower floor areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Damp proofing specifically addresses moisture rising or penetrating through walls and floors, while waterproofing more broadly covers surfaces exposed to direct water such as terraces and roofs.
Treating the affected area and stopping the moisture source helps prevent mould from returning, though existing mould may need to be cleaned separately.
It's more common in older buildings, but any building with poor drainage, groundwater exposure, or wall seepage can be affected.
