Damp Proofing for Housing Associations

Why Housing Associations Need Damp Proofing Services

Managing housing stock is challenging, especially with tight budgets and strict regulations. Yet, housing associations must make sure their properties are safe, inhabitable, and meet all regulations.

If left untreated, damp-related issues, such as rising damp, condensation, and mould, can:

• Cause structural damage
• Affect tenant health
• Lead to expensive repairs

Prokil knows these challenges well. That is why we work with housing associations to create damp prevention solutions. Tackling damp problems early protects properties and tenants. This keeps your housing dry, healthy, and in line with Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) standards.

The Benefits of Damp Proofing for Housing Associations

• Damp and mould can aggravate respiratory conditions and allergies. Prokil’s damp-proofing solutions ensure your tenants’ living environments are safe and healthy.
• Treating damp early stops long-term structural damage. This saves you money on repairs and helps protect your property’s value.
• Prokil helps housing associations meet HHSRS standards. This protects you from enforcement actions and ensures your properties are legal.
• Damp-proofing maintains the integrity of your buildings. It safeguards their value and ensures they remain appealing to tenants and investors.
• Damp can negatively impact a property’s insulation. Dealing with moisture issues can make your building more energy efficient and save on heating costs.
