Rising Damp and Damp Proofing
Rising damp can occur for a number of reasons and usually found in older properties. Damp is caused by the rise of moisture through the bricks or mortar. Damp can usually be detected by what looks like a white tide mark at the base of the property caused by salt deposits. Condensation is another factor in creating damp conditions which may cause mould to grow and lead to ill health.
When purchasing a property that has damp, part of your mortgage condition may be to get a damp course survey completed. This is when you need to call in the help of a professional damp course specialist. They will be able to provide a solution to the causes of your damp conditions and what to do to deter rising damp re-occuring. This may include damp proofing the effected areas.
Some of the most common causes are blocked or poor ventilation, leaking guttering or inadequate heating. Your damp proofing specialist will perform a number of tests in order to find the cause.
In Liverpool and the surrounding area there are a number of specialised companies that can help with any damp issues you may have.
