Damp Proofing

Damp proofing is the term used to describe the installation of preventative measures to stop damp problems such as rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation.
Dampness can damage fixtures and fittings in your property, leave marks on your walls and cause health hazards if untreated. Untreated damp can also cause structural damage to timbers and masonry, therefore it is more cost effective to have it attended to before it spreads. Damp problems that are not treated also have the potential to cause more serious conditions such as wet and dry rot in your property.

Basement Waterproofing

A cavity drainage system is the safest method available for those seeking maximum assurance against system failure. This is because ground water is controlled, diverted, and harmlessly removed rather than being “blocked” at the point of entry. Consequently, the risk of increased hydrostatic pressure is reduced, where directly applied systems generally increase the level of hydrostatic pressure imposed on the structure. Options regarding sump pumps etc can be discussed with John.

Dry Rot

Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans) is the most serious wood destroying fungi it is malignant and will spread even through thick masonry in search of timber attack. The extent of the outbreak must be fully eradicated, and the building fabric sterilised to prevent re-infestation.

Wet Rot

Woodworm Infestation

Anobium Punctatum ( common furniture beetle) is commonly found in structural timbers where they lay their eggs on or in the timbers and the larvae feed upon and bore through the wood leaving a network of tunnels, thus damaging, and weakening the structure.
