quick damp diagnostics

Thanks to our vast experience in the damp proofing and timber treatments trade across more than two decades, we can quickly diagnose the type of damp plaguing your home. Our surveyors have seen damp of every type and severity, so we have first-hand knowledge of the potential problems.

This results in a swift and decisive service using the best equipment and proofing techniques for the job at hand. There are several underlying reasons for damp to be entering your home, including:

1  Condensation:

• Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, leading to the water vapor in the air turning into liquid water. Condensation creates a damp environment which then promotes the growth of mould and mildew. Mould not only damages surfaces but can also pose health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies. This is where our mould removal services will help.

2   Penetrating Damp

• Penetrating damp is caused by water infiltrating the building from the outside. This can result from defects in the building's structure, such as leaking roofs, damaged or blocked gutters and downpipes, cracks in walls, or poorly sealed windows and doors

3  Rising Damp:

• Rising damp occurs when groundwater is drawn up through porous building materials, such as brick and stone, by capillary action. This can be due to a lack of an effective damp-proof course (DPC) or a damaged DPC. Rising damp is more common in older buildings that may not have a proper damp-proof barrier in place.

4  Lack of Waterproofing:

• In areas prone to water exposure, such as basements or areas below ground level, the lack of proper waterproofing can lead to dampness.
• Leaking Plumbing or Pipework:
• Water leaks from internal plumbing or pipework can lead to dampness within the building. Leaks may occur in hidden pipes within walls, under floors, or in ceilings, causing damage to surrounding structures.

Once we reach the site of the damp, we'll work to assess the underlying issue and provide the best solution.
