There are various factors that can make your abode vulnerable to the intrusion of moisture. Damaged or perforated pipes, fractured roofs, and obstructed gutters are some of the common culprits behind damp issues. These flaws allow water to seep through the walls of your property, leading to unwarranted dampness. It is imperative to address these problems as soon as they arise since they can cause significant damage if left unattended. By taking prompt action and fixing any leaks or blockages, you can prevent further harm from occurring and safeguard your home against future moisture-related issues.
Penetrating damp, also known as lateral damp or water ingress, is a weather-related issue caused by rainfall entering the property through exterior fabric such as walls and roofs. This type of dampness usually affects South and West-facing elevations the most. The decay of exterior brick or stone walls to the point where they become porous can allow water to seep through into the home, resulting in moisture damage and paint lifting on interior walls over time. Rainfall can permeate structures due to blocked gutters, leaking roof overflows, and other entry points leading to penetrating damp that causes substantial structural damage to beams and walls.
Sussex Damp Treatments provides complete non-invasive leak detection solutions including thermal imaging technology for detecting temperature differences between wet areas versus dry ones; gas tracking which detects leaks from pipes using tracer gases; acoustic microphones that detect sounds made by water moving within building materials without causing any damage whatsoever.
Moisture invasion in a property can be easily identified through various indicators. Discolouration of wallpapers and wall surfaces, plaster disintegration, blistering, and localised wet spots on ceilings or concrete surfaces are some common symptoms. The presence of musky odour and mould development also indicates the existence of moisture for prolonged periods.
Regular inspection is ideal to prevent such issues; however, our busy routines make it unlikely. Detecting penetrating dampness at an early stage can save significant costs associated with damage repair in the long run. Therefore, it is crucial to check your property for any warning signs mentioned above that may prompt you to take necessary actions against moisture invasion.
To effectively treat damp, it is crucial to first identify the type of damp present. This can occur in both solid and cavity-built structures, making it essential to determine the water source in exterior walls. Early detection is key, and some basic DIY steps such as clearing blocked downpipes or replacing missing or broken roof tiles can help prevent further damage.
However, rain penetration cannot always be avoided, especially if a property is not new or lacks proper maintenance. In such cases, seeking expert advice from Sussex Damp Treatments is recommended. A thorough survey by our experienced team involves an external inspection for evidence of water infiltration and an interior examination for signs of moisture using specialised tools. Our comprehensive survey report includes an action plan to address the issue at its source with precision and efficiency.
Lateral damp, if left untreated for a prolonged period, can lead to both structural and aesthetic damage to the building as well as health issues for its occupants. The two common diseases caused by penetrating moisture are Dry Rot and Wet Rot. It is crucial to identify the source of the problem quickly and treat it appropriately to prevent water invasion and damp proofing walls. Swift action will help avoid further deterioration of the structure’s integrity while ensuring a healthy living environment for those who reside in it.
Our team of expert damp surveyors are dedicated to providing high-quality services for both commercial and residential properties. We take a fundamental approach to our investigations, focusing on identifying the root cause of moisture rather than just treating its symptoms. Our goal is to help you understand where the damp is coming from, how it’s affecting your property, and what needs to be done to prevent it from happening again in the future.
