Extensions including garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Kinlochleven is a village situated in Lochaber, in the Scottish Highlands and also lies at the eastern end of Loch Leven. To the north exist the Mamores ridge; to the south lie the mountains flanking Glen Coe. The village was formed from two formerly separate tiny communities - Kinlochmore to the north of the River Leven in Inverness-shire and also Kinlochbeg to the south of the Leven in Argyll - following the building of an aluminium smelter and linked housing for its workers. The processing plant was powered by a hydroelectric scheme positioned in the mountains over, and also made Kinlochleven the very first town worldwide to have actually every house attached to electrical energy, coining the phrase "The Electric Village". In 1991, the village (according to yearly census returns) had just over 1000 citizens in some 420 homes. Today it is a notable vacationer destination as well as centre for mountain searches.

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.
Signs of rising damp tend to be close to the ground, usually no higher than a metre. It usually works its way up walls in horizontal lines. Penetrating damp usually develops in patches and can often be much higher up. For more advice, speak to a damp proofing professional.
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!
