Amid record-breaking wet weather, the property care company encourages Kent homeowners to be aware of the risk of damp and moisture. Their new damp proofing page highlights how they can help protect the home and those within it.
-- With the UK having officially experienced rain every single day of 2026, so far, the family-run specialist in building and property care services, JH Garlick, has urged homeowners and property managers to be aware of the risk of damp spreading through their property. As such, they have launched a webpage highlighting their damp proofing services, which highlights how they can help avoid the complications associated with the problem, including the risks to health and building integrity.
With the help of their expertise in damp proofing in Kent, JH Garlick encourages homeowners to learn about the increased risk to their property and how their services can help. Sustained periods of rain, when combined with poor ventilation, can lead to higher levels of condensation in the home, as well as exacerbating issues like penetrating damp and rising damp. These conditions can compromise walls, floors, and timber, creating the perfect conditions for mould growth and rot.
The team at JH Garlick encourages homeowners, tenants, and property managers to keep an eye out for common symptoms of damp problems, suc has discolouration on plaster, peeling paint, musty odours, and visible mould. Any of these could be a sign that professional assessment and intervention might be required.
With over five decades of experience in removing damp from both commercial and domestic properties, the team’s damp proofing page outlines the range of ways they can help, such as with comprehensive damp surveys carried out by CSRT-qualified surveyors. With these, they can find the source and extent of moisture issues, assess the structural impact, and recommend tailored treatment plans. These can include installing or renewing damp-proof courses, cavity drain systems, structural waterproofing, and replastering with breathable materials.
As the rain is likely to keep falling over UK homes throughout the rest of winter, at the very least, effective damp management is increasingly important. It affects not just the physical structure of the home but the health of the people inside, as well. Prolonged exposure to damp and mold has been linked to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and a worse quality of life for vulnerable residents, like children and older adults.
JH Garlick aims to help with early detection and professional treatment, reducing the risks of harm to the home or those in it, while also maintaining property value. They encourage any homeowners concerned about damp to get in touch.
