| Damp-proofing products. Safeguard's range of damp-proofing products are designed to deal with dampness entering buildings from the ground. Dampness can enter the building from the ground in two ways: 1) By wicking up through a wall or solid floor (rising damp). 2) Where a wall has been built against the ground (e.g. when building into a hillside) without adequate damp-proofing (lateral damp) Often buildings are constructed without effective damp-proofing, due to faulty design or construction. This allows moisture to enter the building, often resulting in decorative spoiling (such as paint blisters or flaking) and an unpleasant "musty" smell. |
