Condensation Control
Condensation is one of the most common causes of dampness in properties. Quite simply condensation is water that is released from moisture laden air and deposited on cold surfaces, and is usually seen as a problem during the colder winter months.
Examples of condensation is seeing your breath in cold weather and when mirrors or a cold tap steam up in a bathroom.
In your house condensation is often seen on windows being more noticeable on cold mornings, and possibly on external walls. Condensation is also found where air movement is restricted, such as in corners of rooms, behind items of furniture placed against walls and even in wardrobes or cupboards. Its presence can be first indicated by the development of black spot mould growth on walls and ceilings, and even furniture, clothes and other fabrics. Condensation could also lead to wood rot of affected timbers including suspended floors.
Appropriate measures need to be taken to control condensation which can be achieved by ensuring an adequate balance between heating, ventilation and insulation. However, more often than not other additional control steps are required.
Tanking Systems
Tanking System
Water proof tanking is used to waterproof buildings and structures, typically basements and cellars so that they can be turned into dry, habitable rooms.
Our tanking System can also be used to keep water from leaking out of structures so can be used to waterproof swimming pools and drinking water tanks.
Rising Damp
Rising damp is water from the ground that transfers up a structure by capillary action. A wall in contact with the ground will become damp when ground moisture rises up it. This effect could typically lead to wood rot in skirting boards/timber floors, flaking paint, peeling wallpaper, salts and a tidemark effect.
Most types of masonry found in walls of a building will allow water movement by capillary action, although this is usually controlled by a traditional physical damp proof course (dpc). However, many older properties do not have a dpc in the walls, so where a dpc is absent, has broken down or is damaged, rising damp will occur.
Where this is the case then remedial damp proofing work is required which may include the installation of a chemical damp proof course system. Damp Stop UK supply and install a wide range of damp proofing treatments including, Injection Fluids and Injection Creams
Rising damp also introduces contaminating salts into walls and plaster which will require the plaster to be removed and replaced with specialist damp proofing materials.
