Importance Of Having a Damp Proof Specialist

Damp is a serious problem facing property owners in Barnstaple and there are a number of damp proofing solutions to rectify the problem.

The first step to treating the damp problem is to book a survey with a damp proof specialist who is fully qualified. Our specialists are PCA approved in both CRST and CTSB qualifications, which means they are qualified to treat both damp and timber problems and waterproofing issues.

Damp Survey in Barnstaple

Once you have booked a survey from one of our specialists in Barnstaple, they will conduct a full damp inspection at the property. This will entail assessing all areas of the property from the basement to the loft.

The surveyor will check if there is any damp proofing already in place and if there is, they will check to see if it is working sufficiently. For example, if the damp proof course (DPC) has become damaged then the surveyor will explain that a new DPC will need to be installed into the walls to stop the risk of rising damp causing damage.

The Bristol damp proofing surveyor will also assess what the causes of the damp problem are. Once the cause of the damp problem has been found then the specialist can advise, in a detailed report, what the best treatment is.

Every damp problem is different and there are a variety of damp proofing solutions that can be carried out to fix the problem. Condensation can affect any type of property, whether it is a new build or property built before the 1950s. The main solution to fixing this type of damp issue is to improve the airflow in and out of the property. This can be from simply opening doors and windows to installing extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen of your house.
