Damp proofing starts with understanding the cause
Visible damp can have different underlying causes. Taurus Home and Garden takes a measured approach, using appropriate investigation before recommending remedial work.

Signs worth investigating
Discolouration, musty odours, damaged finishes or recurring moisture can have several explanations. Their presence does not provide a diagnosis on its own.
