UNDERSTANDING DAMP PROBLEMS
What Causes Damp in Your Property?
Not all damp problems have the same cause, and identifying the source is essential to finding the right solution. Our independent damp surveys investigate signs of rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation, helping you understand what's affecting your property and what to do next.
Rising Damp
Ground moisture moving up walls, causing salt deposits and plaster damage.
Penetrating Damp
Water entering through leaks, damaged roofs, or porous walls.
Condensation
Excess moisture in the air causing mould growth and poor air quality.
We can also inspect timber issues such as wet rot, dry rot, and insect infestation.
