How Damp Proofers Find Work Before
Pre-war property clusters, basement conversion planning applications, flood zone planning notices, and property transaction surveys flagging damp — all visible before the homeowner starts getting quotes. JobFilter scans energy signals, planning applications, and property transactions across 400+ councils to find damp treatment work before the damp proofer down the road gets the call.

THE PROBLEM DAMP PROOFERS FACE
YOU'RE WAITING FOR WORK INSTEAD OF FINDING IT.
DAMP WORK COMES FROM SURVEYOR REFERRALS OR DESPERATION CALLS
Homeowners either call you because a surveyor flagged damp in a report, or because they've watched the problem get worse for months. Either way, you're reactive — you didn't find the customer, the problem found you.
PRE-WAR PROPERTY SURVEYS FLAG DAMP BUT NOBODY TRACKS THEM
RICS surveys on Victorian and Edwardian properties flag damp regularly. That survey data is in the property transaction record. But no damp proofer is cross-referencing it with addresses and ownership to find warm leads.
BASEMENT CONVERSION PLANNING NEEDS TANKING BEFORE THE BUILD STARTS
A planning application for a basement conversion means a tanking and waterproofing contract — often £5,000-£15,000. But by the time the homeowner starts building, they've already found a contractor through their builder.
FLOOD ZONE AND HIGH-WATER-TABLE PLANNING FLAGS ARE IGNORED
Planning applications in flood risk zones often require drainage and waterproofing solutions as a planning condition. These conditions are in the planning documents — but nobody is filtering them for damp and waterproofing contractors.

HOW IT WORKS FOR DAMP PROOFERS
THREE STEPS. REAL JOBS. NO BULLSHIT.
Enter your postcode
Tell us where you work. We scan energy signals, basement conversion planning, and pre-war property transaction signals within your working radius.
Damp signals get scored
Energy moisture flags, basement planning approvals, flood zone planning conditions — each scored by job value, property type, and how urgent the treatment need is likely to be.
Gold leads fire to WhatsApp
A Victorian terrace cluster in your area with moisture signals is 12 potential damp treatment jobs worth £800-£4,000 each. You get the alert before the homeowners start calling around.
WHAT A DAMP PROOFERS LEAD LOOKS LIKE
THIS IS WHAT HITS YOUR SCREEN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE SEES IT.
Not a form submission. Not a shared lead. An official signal — scored, filtered, and sent to you because it matches your trade.
GOLD LEAD
Victorian terrace cluster — damp issues flagged across 12 properties
WHERE THE JOBS COME FROM
THREE SOURCES. DAMP PROOFERS-SPECIFIC SIGNALS.
Energy moisture signals
Properties with energy flags for ventilation, moisture, or condensation issues are prime damp treatment candidates. Cross-referenced with property age, construction type, and location to identify high-probability leads.
Basement conversion planning
Every basement conversion planning application requires tanking and waterproofing work. We flag them the day approval is granted — before the homeowner has appointed a contractor.
Pre-war property clusters
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas with known high water tables or drainage issues are flagged in clusters — giving you a geographic pipeline rather than individual one-off leads.
WHATSAPP BODYGUARD
GOLD LEADS HIT YOUR PHONE. NOT YOUR INBOX. NOT A DASHBOARD.
When a job scores Gold for your trade, it fires to WhatsApp within minutes. You're on the tools — you don't need another app to check.
