What Type of Damp?
Most damp problems are caused by any one, or a combination, of all of these issues:
- Rising damp occurs when your property’s original damp proof course breaks down, or when there are changes to the terrain outside which help moisture bypass the existing damp proofing.
- Penetrative damp is the result of water entering the building because of faulty guttering, damaged brickwork or other structural problems.
- Condensation is a phenomenon well known to many of us, especially in winter: excess water vapour in the air meets a cold surface and condenses, resulting in moisture-dewed walls, windows and furniture.
It all sounds simple in theory, but in practice finding the cause of damp is often complicated. Unless you’re experienced at detecting damp and diagnosing its origin, you’re likely to make the wrong decision. Treatment then becomes delayed, resulting in further complications such as black mould and timber infestation. We want to spare you that sort of stress and expense, which is why we offer a 100% diagnosis and cure guarantee.
Do You Have a Timber Infestation?
You probably answered this question with an emphatic, “Of course not!” but it’s almost certainly worth your while to think again. If your property has ever suffered from damp, this has created the right environment for wet rot, dry rot and woodworm to thrive. Timber infestation can undermine the structural integrity of your home, so it should be treated as soon as it is diagnosed.
Most people only discover the presence of timber infestation when they’re about to sell their property, which is also the point at which it causes the most stress and inconvenience. We think it makes much better sense to spot problems before they have the chance to derail your future plans, so we offer a FREE damp and timber survey to all Hampstead homeowners.
London is Prone to Damp
If you’ve been living in London for a while, you’ll know that it isn’t the driest part of the UK. Much of the area is situated on a flood plain, which makes properties vulnerable to rising and penetrative damp. And if you’ve got a cellar, it’s probably dank and inhospitable, and may even fill with water on a regular basis.
At London Damp Company, our specialists offer a broad repertoire of solutions for all of the above problems, however severe. We can restore your brickwork so that it resists the water, we’ll augment your property’s original damp proof course to cure rising damp, and we can even install tanking to turn your chilly cellar into a cosy, comfortable extra room.
