The lack of a damp proof membrane in Bury for your walls or basement areas may be the only thing keeping your home from selling. Maybe you have a buyer for your home willing to pay your asking price and you make plans to move. To your surprise, your buyer sends a home inspection team over and they find signs of dampness throughout the house. You may not see black mould on the walls but if it is hiding in the cracks, a trained nose will smell it. Especially a nose allergic to moulds. Sediment marks on the wall show how high water has seeped up the wall.  Check the wood trim piece that butts up to the patio door track. Is it water stained? A home inspector will notice those details.

In Bury, a damp proof membrane may have originally been placed under your concrete foundation and in the vertical walls of your house. If your house is older the membranes may have deteriorated, allowing dampness to seep in. Historic homes may never have had such waterproofing protection but professional restoration done right will include damp proofing. Push on the shower or laundry room walls. They may feel soft or give slightly. Condensation is likely the cause. If so, Ascot Damp Proofing solution will be be the installation of an HRV system to ventilate the moisture out.
