Damp Proofing, Dry Rot and Woodworm Treatment in Canterbury

Canterbury Damp Proofing and Woodworm Case Studies

Property care issues are a real problem affecting people in the area of Canterbury. Timberwise has protected properties across Canterbury against damp and wood rotting issues.

Woodworm

An example of the South East tackling these issues is when we asked to provide an inspection on a Windmill, with the suspicion that there may be a case of woodworm infestation. Once the survey had been carried out it was noted that there was also a case of another timber problem that was wet rot. This was caused by the staircase being placed outside so it was vulnerable to heavy periods of rainfall. The woodworm found at the property was both the Common Furniture Beetle and Death Watch Beetle. To treat these woodworm beetles was to apply insecticide spray onto the timbers.

Damp

Work was carried out home for an old property in Canterbury with suspected rising damp issues. This was caused by the fact there was no damp proof course was put in the place. Treatments to fix this problem was to install a damp proof course and replaster all the walls that had been affected by rising damp. For extra protection, a WeatherTek Protection Cream was applied onto the walls.
