What damp proofing does — and doesn’t

Damp proofing is the remedial work once the cause is known: a damp-proof course injected or replaced, tanking or membranes for below-ground walls, or fixing the water source — a gutter, render or flashing — so it stops entering the wall. In Plymouth, as elsewhere, the most common “damp” is condensation, which no damp-proof course will fix.

So ask any specialist for the survey findings in writing before agreeing a treatment, and check whether they are CSRT-qualified or PCA members.

What kind of damp problems are common in Plymouth?
Plymouth's rented housing stock includes substantial Victorian terraced housing in areas like Stonehouse and Union Street, alongside post-war rebuild stock in the city centre following WWII bomb damage. Damp risk varies significantly by street rather than being uniform across the city given this mixed-age stock. Plymouth City Council's housing standards policy directs officers to give additional weight to occupier vulnerability — children, older residents, or those with existing health conditions — when a damp and mould report comes in.
Where can Plymouth tenants report damp and mould to the council?
Tenants and landlords in Plymouth can report unresolved damp and mould directly to the council through its damp and mould page.Source: Plymouth council damp and mould reporting page ↗
