    Common Damp Problems We Address

    Damp problems in Cardiff can present in several forms, each requiring a different approach. Homeowners often contact us when they notice the following issues:

    • Tide marks and staining on internal walls
    • Peeling paint or damaged plaster
    • Musty odours and condensation build-up
    • Deterioration or rot in internal timber

    Accurate diagnosis ensures the right treatment is applied from the outset. Our surveyors assess moisture levels, building construction, basement waterproofing courses, and ventilation to determine the most effective course of action.

    Damp and Timber Treatment in South Wales

    Where moisture has begun to affect structural timbers, a combined damp and timber treatment approach may be required. This ensures both the source of damp and any resulting timber decay are properly addressed.

    If specialist fungal treatment or insect control is needed, this is handled by our qualified timber decay specialists. They focus on preserving timber affected by woodworm or dry rot wherever they can, minimising disruption to your property as much as possible.
