Damp Guard Vapour Barrier Installation

On average, 250ml of water can evaporate from 1m² of ground in 24 hours. This moisture can be a significant source of dampness in your home, leading to serious issues if not addressed. Installing a ground moisture barrier is one of the most effective ways to mitigate this problem

Damp Guard Ground vapour barrier stops ground moisture from evaporating into the subfloor space. Apart from loss of heat, this moisture can also lead to the growth of mould and mildew, which can significantly impact both the health of occupants and the structural integrity of your home.

Damp Guard is a 250-micron polyethylene sheet installed on the ground underneath the entire subfloor to reduce or eliminate rising damp.

Why You Need Damp Guard For Your Property

For rental properties, proper moisture management is essential for compliance:

• Rental properties must have efficient drainage for storm water, surface water, and ground water

• Properties with enclosed sub-floor spaces must have a ground moisture barrier installed if reasonably practicable

• Compliance helps protect both your investment and your tenants' wellbeing

Damp Guard protects your home from damage while helping give the occupants a warmer and drier home. It's not called rising damp for nothing, as it may also cause roof space condensation, when moist air in the subfloor migrates upwards through framing and drainage cavities. The most effective remedy is to install a ground vapour barrier.
