Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is performed by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

The Hope Valley is a backwoods centred on the town of Hope, Derbyshire in the Peak District in the north Midlands of England. The name also applies to the post community that includes the bordering villages. Although the Hope Valley appears to be a solitary valley, the name of the river changes a number of times. The head of the valley exists listed below Mam Tor at Castleton. From here, the Peakshole Water moves to Hope, where it gets in the lower reaches of the River Noe, which has streamed from Edale. The Noe then streams to Bamford, where it goes into the River Derwent, which has actually travelled about ten miles from Bleaklow. The valley is now technically the Derwent Valley, but the term "Hope Valley" is still used as the Derwent moves via Hathersage and Grindleford. Other streams in the area consist of the Burbage Brook, which runs down from Burbage Valley with Padley Gorge and right into the River Derwent near Grindleford station. The area is a popular visitor location, especially as the Hope Valley Line railway from Sheffield to Manchester runs through it, from the western end of the Totley Tunnel near Grindleford to the eastern end of the Cowburn Tunnel near Edale. In the centre of the valley is a long-standing concrete factory, the UK's greatest, run by Hope Construction Materials. It is somewhat infamous locally because it is a popular commercial operation in the middle of a National Park as well as is extremely noticeable from several places. Nevertheless, the factory gives useful neighborhood work outside the tourist market.

There are a few visible signs of damp, although it often goes undetected. However, in older or empty properties, this made become detectable through its smell. These include peeling paint and wallpaper, crumbling plaster, mould growth, black spots or spores on walls and ceilings, and rotting skirting boards and flooring.
You should make sure that all signs of damp have gone before you redecorate your walls. If you want to paint your walls with a water-permeable emulsion paint, you can usually do this after 1 or 2 months. For other types of decoration you should wait longer.
Damp is a serious problem, particularly if you live in an old property, because it can lead to structural damage. This will cost you big money and could be very dangerous, to yourself and the property. Take damp seriously and get it inspected and resolved as soon as you discover it!
