Damp Survey Services
Our Damp Survey Services Help Property Owners Pinpoint The Source Of Problems Before They Escalate To Cause Lasting Damage.
These are some of the most common damp problems we solve for our customers…
The main thing we want you to understand is that it’s probably not your fault! Damp has a habit of sneaking up on us, especially in older UK properties. The good news is that there’s a lot we can do to identify the root cause of the damp, rectify the issue and prevent it from happening again in the future.
The key is catching it as early as possible, to minimise damage to your property.
Condensation and Mould
Condensation is a common problem in homes, causing mould to grow. If left untreated, mould spreads and can cause health issue.
Fungal & Insect Damage
Fungal growth and insect infestation affects timber in buildings, which can compromise the structural integrity of the property.
Ingress and Water Leaks
Water Ingress or penetrating damp is cause by a fault or leak in the system, so water escapes into the property. This is usually seen on external solid walls.
Rising Damp
Rising damp can be caused by many things – missing damp course, faulty building structure or problems at ground level.
Poor Ventilation
Efficient and functional ventilation is important in keeping damp issues at bay in your home, particular in areas like the kitchen and bathroom where a lot of steam is regularly created by day to day activity.
Dry and Wet Rot
Treating dry and wet rot at the first signs is crucial to avoid irreparable structural damage to a property. Regular monitoring and maintenance after treatment is also essential to avoid recurrence.
