Having Damp Problems in The Liverpool Area
Liverpool has a household population of approximately 333,000, with those living in around 156,000 properties. According to Climate-Data.Org there is a large amount of rainfall in the area even during the driest months of the year.
The average precipitation for Liverpool is very high, at around 796 mm per month. Due to the large amount of rain that Liverpool sees through the year there is a higher risk of flooding in the area. Back in October 2019, there was severe flooding in Merseyside, which caused pretty severe property damage and transport disruption – even causing trains to be canceled.
If your property has been or is currently affected by flooding then dampness can be one of the damaging consequences. You will most likely find that rising damp, or penetrating damp, will set into your property following a flood, and will need to be treated by a damp proofing specialist.

How Our Liverpool Damp Proofing Surveyors Inspect Your Property
Damp can occur in a property for a number of reasons; poor ventilation, poor maintenance, or even a failed damp proof course (DPC). Dampness is especially common and present in older housing, as these properties weren’t designed to prevent the excess build-up of moisture. This is definitely applicable to Liverpool, as historically housing in Merseyside was built using permeable materials with no attempt to use any waterproofing measures.
Another major cause of damp problems can be attributed to poor maintenance of the property, which leads to leaks. More recently it has been down to poorly developed building work by builders which has not allowed the moisture to escape, which we are finding increasingly common in new build homes.
If you find that you have damp problems in your property then we recommend our local Liverpool damp proofing specialists to fix any of the damp issues affecting your property.
Our damp surveyors in Liverpool will recommend a specific method of damp proofing to treat the issue. For example, if our surveyor spots signs of rising damp, Timberwise will recommend the use of a unique product called The DryTek Damp Proofing System, a liquid foam damp proof course that creates a barrier so that moisture can not travel upwards into your properties walls and become damp, and ensures that all cracks will be filled.

Woodworm Problems Affecting Your Property in Liverpool
To treat woodworm in your property, we first recommend having a survey with one of our experts in Merseyside. Timberwise surveyors will make sure that the survey process is carried out properly, and that the beetles are correctly identified.
There are a number of types of woodworm beetle; the most common being the Common Furniture Beetle which attacks softwood. The Death Watch Beetle is the 2nd most common beetle, this type of wood boring insect affects hardwood and is largely found in old church buildings.
Our surveyors will check for exit holes, frass (the waste product of wood), and the type of timber that has been affected. Once this has all been completed, the surveyor will provide a report outlining what the most effective woodworm treatment can be used to get rid of the wood boring insects from your property.
