Timber decay occurs when wood becomes weakened and decomposed due to prolonged exposure to moisture, often combined with fungal growth.
When beetle larvae burrow into wood, feeding on it from the inside. Over time, this weakens the wood and can cause serious structural damage if left untreated.
Mould occurs when moisture builds up on cold surfaces, creating damp conditions that encourage fungal growth and can damage property and health.
Remedial surveys assess a property to identify defects, damage, or damp issues and recommend appropriate repair solutions.
Cavity wall inspection involves examining the space between a building’s inner and outer walls to detect moisture, insulation issues, or structural defects.
Render replacement involves removing damaged or old render and applying a new protective coating to walls to improve durability and appearance.
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground. It can cause peeling paint, crumbling plaster and long-term structural damage if not treated.
Penetrating damp occurs when water leaks through walls or roofs, leading to wet patches, decay and damage inside the building.
Salt damp occurs when salts in walls absorb moisture. This causes white, powdery stains, peeling paint and damage to the masonry and plaster.
Leaking pipes can cause serious water damage, weaken walls and floors and create damp conditions that encourage mould growth and structural decay over time.
Condensation damp occurs when moisture from indoor air collects on cold surfaces, causing damp patches and potential mould growth.
Interstitial condensation occurs when moisture builds up inside walls, roofs, or floors, potentially causing hidden damage.
Basement and structural waterproofing involves protecting below-ground and structural areas of a property from water ingress, damp and potential flooding.
Flood prevention is to reduce the risk of water entering buildings. Flood restoration focuses on cleaning, drying and repairing properties after flooding to prevent long-term damage.
Good building ventilation ensures a constant flow of fresh air throughout the property, helping to reduce damp, prevent mould growth and maintain healthy, comfortable indoor air quality.
Sub-floor ventilation allows air to flow beneath a building, reducing moisture build up, preventing damp and protecting timber and flooring from decay.
