Damp Proofing
Diagnosing damp involves identifying the type, cause, and extent of moisture affecting a property. There are generally 3 main types of damp namely rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation damp with each type presenting in a different manner. Common signs include tide marks on walls, salt deposits on the walls, peeling paint or wallpaper and musty odours.
Penetrating damp is caused by water entering a building through external walls or defects in the structure.Penetrating damp can be caused by several issues such as cracked or pointing disrepair, leaking gutters or down pipes, Unlike rising damp, which travels up from the ground, penetrating damp moves horizontally through walls. It often results from issues like damaged brickwork, cracked render, or porous brickwork.
What's Included
- A qualified survey will complete a comprehensive damp survey to identify the type of damp and where possible the point of ingress of the water entering the property.
- Using the most up to date measuring equipment Yorkshire Damp & Mould will be able to confirm whether the damp is penetrating, rising or condensation damp as the visible signs can be quite similar to the naked eye which lends itself to misdiagnosis of the issues.
