Damp can be caused by a variety of factors that range from the more commonplace scenario of damp rising from the ground through the bricks of a wall, to problems such as rainwater ingress, condensation and hygroscopic salt contamination. Depending on the exact nature of the damp issue, damp can result from a breakdown of an old damp proof course, defective rainwater goods, perished mortar beds, damaged roof coverings, high external ground levels, or inadequate ventilation.
Whilst some cases are easy to diagnose, most require the eye of an expert surveyor to determine both the cause and the required treatment.
If you’ve spotted signs of damp in a building or structure, it’s time to contact The National Waterproofing Group and book an expert analysis.
We use a range of equipment to pinpoint the nature, cause and severity of the damp within a building. This can include moisture meters, thermal imaging, anemometers and more, which when combined with the experience and knowledge of a Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatment will facilitate the preparation and delivery of effective repair and prevention.
It’s crucial that you hire an expert to analyse and rectify damp within a building or structure, as inaccurate diagnosis will almost certainly result in multiple failed treatments at great cost and inconvenience.
We provide exceptional damp control services to homeowners, landlords, civil engineering companies and housing developers across the UK. To find out more, get in touch today through our contact form.
