What is Damp and How is it Caused?
Damp is excess moisture that infiltrates a building’s structure, often resulting in musty smells, staining, peeling plaster, and eventual structural weakening. It can manifest in a number of ways, including rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation.
The causes of damp are varied but commonly include poor ventilation, damaged roofing or guttering, high ground levels, and failed or missing damp proof courses. Our team carries out a thorough damp survey to identify the root cause before proposing a tailored damp proofing treatment. At The Yorkshire Lime Company, we offer a wide range of professional building services for the many heritage buildings found in Todmorden. To find out more, get in touch with our team today.
Our Damp Proofing Services
We provide comprehensive damp proofing works that respect the traditional construction of your property while implementing effective modern solutions. From early assessment through to the final damp treatment, we work closely with clients to ensure minimal disruption and maximum preservation.
Damp Control
Controlling damp begins with understanding the source. Whether it’s a case of rising damp or condensation build-up, we develop targeted strategies that include ventilation improvement, installation of breathable materials, and careful repair work. We create a healthier living environment while preventing moisture from returning.
Wet & Dry Rot
Wet rot and dry rot are common consequences of prolonged damp conditions. Left untreated, these fungi can compromise timber structures and brickwork, which could require extensive repairs down the line. Our proofing specialists are trained to identify, treat, and prevent both wet rot and dry rot using conservation-friendly techniques.
Structural Repairs
Damp often leads to wider structural concerns, especially in heritage buildings where original materials may be more vulnerable. We carry out sympathetic structural repairs that reinforce the fabric of your property without compromising its character. From repointing lime mortar to replacing damaged masonry, our building services are second to none.
Flood Proofing
Todmorden is no stranger to extreme weather events, and flood risk is a growing concern for many property owners. We offer bespoke flood proofing solutions, including the application of a waterproof coating, drainage systems, and protective barriers. Combined with effective basement waterproofing, our methods provide peace of mind and long-term resilience.

How Long Should You Wait to Decorate After Damp Proofing?
Once damp proofing works are complete, it’s essential to allow sufficient drying time before redecorating. This period can vary depending on the method used and the severity of the original problem but generally ranges from two weeks to a few months.
Patience is key. Decorating too soon may trap residual moisture, compromising your fresh finishes and encouraging further damp problems. We provide expert advice on when and how to decorate post-treatment, ensuring the longevity of your interiors.
