Our team of experts can help identify the root cause of the problem and provide effective solutions to reduce damp in your property. With our help, your property can be restored to its former glory, free from the damaging effects of damp.
CONDENSATION:
Condensation is caused by the cooling of a gas or vapor, which causes it to change its state into a liquid. This process occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as a window or mirror. The moisture in the air then condenses into droplets on the surface, creating the familiar phenomenon of condensation. Condensation can have negative effects on your property, as mold growth, peeling paint, and rotting wood. It is important to take steps to prevent condensation in order to protect your property.
RISING DAMP:
Rising damp is caused by water from the ground moving up through the walls of a building. This can lead to a range of issues, including damage to plaster and paintwork, the growth of mold and mildew, and even structural damage if left untreated. It's important to address rising damp as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
PENETRATING DAMP:
Penetrating damp is caused by water entering through the walls of a building. This can lead to a range of issues, including damp patches, mold growth, and damage to plaster and paintwork. If left untreated, it can also cause structural damage to the property. It's important to identify and address the source of the problem as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
