  • Penetrating Damp

  • Condensation

  • Rising Damp

 

These 3 key types of damp are described in greater detail in this article, together with recommendations for prevention and resolution, should you find them in your home or business in Coppull.

PENETRATING DAMP

Penetrating damp in the home can be attributable to a variety of external factors for instance: broken or loose roof tiles, cracks in brickwork, defective guttering and cavity wall issues. Inside a building, the causes can be cracked shower trays, burst or dripping pipes and overflowing sinks or baths. If left unresolved, blistering or broken plaster, dark damp patches on walls and flaking or bubbling paintwork, will be the noticeable results of water soaking into the woodwork and walls.

Wet rot can develop in the timbers of your roof if you have a leaky roof which is been neglected for quite some time. Wet rot does not spread into the brickwork, but having it can mean that in the worst case your roof timbers become structurally unsafe, requiring a new roof. If a black fungus appears on your woodwork and the roof timbers feel "spongy" to touch, you might have problems with wet rot.

Preventative measures can be fairly basic, such as repointing dodgy brickwork, examining pipework for leaks and cleaning and checking your rain gutters and roof for leaks. As an integral part of a complete damp proofing program, your local Coppull damp proofing specialist will check out all of these factors.

CONDENSATION

Condensation Damp Coppull UK (01257)

Quite simple to identify and a contributing factor to damp in many Coppull homes, condensation is incredibly common. When cooler surfaces come into contact with moist, warm air, small droplets of water form on those cold surfaces. It often arises due to poor ventilation in places where high humidity is present, i.e. bathrooms, kitchens and boiler rooms.

To prevent condensation issues, simple strategies include ensuring that you have sufficient ventilation in the main trouble spots, and wiping away any droplets of water the moment they arise. Redirecting humid air outside of your property in Coppull, by installing or updating cooker hoods, air bricks and extractor fans, will help you to eliminate this annoying problem.

The best way to identify the key factors that exacerbate the situation, is to have an in-depth damp proofing survey carried out by an experienced Coppull company. Occasionally moist air can be drawn in from outside, plainly making matters even worse. To effectively minimise condensation problems, airflow has to be properly regulated. A reliable Coppull damp proofing company is well qualified to offer solutions and advice to accomplish this in your home.

Damp Proofing Quotes in Coppull Lancashire

RISING DAMP

Ever since 1875, a damp proof course or membrane has been fitted as standard in all houses built in Great Britain. It's quite possible that you may not have one fitted if your property in Coppull was constructed in the years before this. If you're suffering with rising damp in a house constructed after this date it might be that your damp proof course or membrane has been damaged in some way.

Rising damp can be hard to identify, but some areas to watch out for are; crumbling or rotten skirting boards, tide marks on walls and white powdery deposits forming on walls or being found on floor surfaces. It's feasible that you could have a rising damp problem if you've seen one or more of these.

Rising Damp Coppull Lancashire

Just checking your property's outside walls to see if you have a DPM can be the first step towards managing your rising damp problems. For adequate protection it should be 150 millimetres above the level of the ground. If this is not the situation you might be able to dig away the ground to generate this gap, or if this is not plausible, you can put in a higher DPM (damp proof membrane).

If this isn't the problem and your DPM is installed and in order, there could be more problematic issues to resolve caused by the dampness rising up from the ground, through your floors, and into the walls.

Using a number of techniques, damp proofing technicians in Coppull can swiftly identify and eliminate rising damp. Older properties which either have no damp proof course, or have one which is damaged over a considerable area, can have a damp proof cream (such as Permaguard or Dryzone) injected into the external walls. Holes will be drilled at intervals in the mortar course, and a nozzle is used to inject the special cream, which then diffuses before curing to create an effective, horizontal water-repellent barrier.

If the deterioration of your membrane is too critical, or if damp proofing injection cream is not a satisfactory treatment, you may have to put in a brand new damp proof course. Although this is of course a fairly extreme course of action, it could be the only way to remedy your rising damp issues successfully.

Damp Proofers Coppull (PR7)

For smaller areas of damage, yet another possible solution could be to coat with a bitumen based, waterproof latex emulsion paint. This is applied underneath your floor coverings, so carpeting, wood flooring and tiles will have to be lifted before any work is done. Also used as a part of the "tanking" procedure to create a waterproof space, this is a particularly effectual treatment in cellar areas. Before the bitumen paint has completely dried out, your Coppull damp proof technician might suggest the use of building paper (a specialist foil backed membrane), for extra protection.

Tanking: The process of coating exposed surfaces with a watertight paint in a basement or below ground area is called "tanking". As this coating needs to be applied to the bare surfaces of walls and floors, all plaster and wall covering must be removed before any work can begin, and all surfaces prepared properly. When the paint has been put on and dried, it's then possible to replaster the walls and decorate over the top. As it must be applied to an entire ground floor or basement level of a property, this is a very disruptive job. It's therefore advisable to bring in at least three damp proofing experts to make certain that this is really the only possible solution.

SOLVING DAMP WITH A DEHUMIDIFIER

To help with problems with condensation, you could always try dehumidifiers, which for removing moisture from the air, are very efficient. The trouble with dehumidifier use in seeking to reduce mould and damp is that they basically cover up the cause of the damp, not cure it. If you are experiencing damp in any part of your home in Coppull, you should get in touch with a professional damp proofing company for the most reliable advice.
