When winter charges like a rhino, the temperature starts sliding down, and those misty skies are just hanging around the corner, looking to dump a fine sheen of water all over the place. This provides perfect environmental circumstances for rising damp, in order to really set in with the weather conditions. In case, you still haven’t given it a thought, then it’s high time you should consider damp proofing your walls with some impervious wall coatings. Unless, and of course, you want winter to grow pores on your ceiling, and all your interior home décor falls apart through mildew.

Taken as nobody would actually adore such situations, there is still some time left for you to set a proper damp proofing to your home. Damp proofing and wall restoration with exterior wall coatings are relatively cheap and reasonable way to well protect the walls of your home against all the intrusion of rising damp this season of winter. It is essential that you inspect your damp coursing before you begin anything.

Damp coursing actually being the runnel under the house and are designed to draw off the water away from the foundation of your home. In case they are blocked or get cracked, you will need to have them seen before you can actually go ahead with damp proofing your home. This is simply because, a broken water course will eventually lead to standing water just under the house, which is then taken straight up to the foundations as well as into the walls of your home. Therefore, there is no real point in actually damp proofing walls with coatings while having a rising damp issue originating just under your home.

Once you have ensured that your damp course is well sorted and that almost everything is working just proper and perfect under there, you can then turn your attention to the walls of your home. Getting your home walls treated with weather proof paint, that will act as a weather protective membrane for walls, or using water proof renders can offer an unbeatable yearlong protection against some of the worst wall-killers.
