What causes damp?
Not all damp problems have the same cause, and applying the wrong treatment can waste both time and money.
Our surveyors investigate issues including:
Rising Damp
Ground moisture rises through masonry where the existing damp proof course has failed, deteriorated or has been bridged.
Penetrating Damp
Rainwater enters through defects such as damaged brickwork, leaking gutters, cracked render, faulty pointing or roof defects.
Condensation
Warm, moisture-rich air condenses on cold surfaces, often leading to black mould and poor indoor air quality.
Understanding the true cause allows us to recommend the most appropriate solution for your property.
