Damp Proofing Hessle

Damp Proofing Hessle East Yorkshire (HU13): Having problems with damp in your house in Hessle can result in serious structural and health issues, as well as appearing unsightly. Costing thousands to fix if not cured swiftly, more serious problems can often be hidden beneath patches of damp, peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork. If you've got an issue such as this there is very little that you can do to resolve it yourself, and the best course of action is to speak to an established Hessle damp proofing company to carry out a survey and come up with solutions.

In regards to dampness in Hessle structures, there are essentially three major causes:

PENETRATING DAMP

Typical external factors that can cause penetrating damp in your home include: damaged guttering, unsound brickwork, broken roof tiles and cavity wall problems. Inside, overflowing bathtubs or sinks, cracked shower trays and burst or leaky pipes, can cause penetrating damp. If left unresolved, flaking paintwork, damp dark patches on walls and blistering or broken plaster, will be the noticeable upshot of water soaking into the walls and woodwork.

If left untreated for an extended period of time, a leaky roof can cause wet rot to arise in the timbers of your roof. Wet rot can't spread into brickwork, but having it can mean that in the worst case scenario the timbers of your roof become structurally unsafe, necessitating a new roof. If black fungus appears on any woodwork and the timber in your roof feels "spongy" to touch, you may have a case of wet rot.

Simple steps like repointing dodgy brickwork, cleaning and checking your roof and rain gutters for leaks and examining piping for leaks, can be the basic preventative maintenance measures. As part of a complete damp proofing arrangement, your local Hessle damp proofing company will check all of these areas.

CONDENSATION

Super easy to spot and the cause of damp in a lot of Hessle homes, condensation is incredibly common. Small water droplets form on cooler surfaces when they come into contact with warm, moist air. It often manifests because of poor ventilation in places where there's high humidity, i.e. bathrooms, boiler rooms and kitchens.

To avoid condensation issues, simple strategies include ensuring there is adequate ventilation in the affected areas, and wiping away any water droplets the moment they form. This might call for the upgrading or installation of cooker hoods, extractors and air bricks to help reroute the damp air to the outside of the building.

A detailed damp proof survey from a credible Hessle company could also find circumstances which give rise to the problem by sucking in damp air from outside. Airflow has to be regulated properly to effectively control condensation problems, and a reliable damp proofing specialist will be able to give advice and offer solutions on this subject.

RISING DAMP

A damp proof course or membrane has been compulsory on homes built in the UK since 1875. You might not have a damp course on your home or property in Hessle if it was constructed earlier than this. If you are experiencing rising damp in a home built after this date it might be that your damp proof membrane or course has been somehow or other.

Rising damp can be tricky to identify, but some areas to keep an eye out for are; white powdery deposits being found on floor surfaces or forming on walls, rotten or crumbling skirtings and tide marks on walls. Whilst the existence of one or more of these is not conclusive, they're all clear indicators of rising damp problems.

Resolving rising damp problems can be as straightforward as checking your external walls and seeing if you can spot a damp proof course. In order to get a satisfactory measure of protection the DPM must be above ground level by a minimum of 150mm. If you discover this space doesn't exist, you can dig the earth away to increase it, or if this process is not possible, a higher damp proof membrane will need to be installed.

If this is not the problem and your damp proof membrane is in fact correct, there might be more challenging issues to deal with caused by the dampness coming up from the ground beneath, through your flooring, and into the walls of your property.

Using a range of methods, damp proofing professionals in Hessle will swiftly identify and resolve your rising damp problems. A damp proofing cream (such as Dryzone) can be carefully injected into your walls if you have a somewhat older property with no DPM, or it is damaged over a substantial area. This involves the drilling of holes at evenly spaced intervals in your brickwork and the cream injected with a special nozzle to plug the spaces behind the brickwork.

In instances where damp proofing cream isn't an appropriate solution, or where the membrane is too seriously damaged, installing a new damp proof course may be neccessary. Though this is obviously a pretty extreme approach, it might be the only way to resolve your rising damp effectively.

Painting with a waterproof (bitumen based) latex emulsion, is another potential remedy for smaller areas of membrane damage. This will be applied beneath your current floor coverings, so tiles, carpeting and wooden flooring will have to be lifted prior to work being undertaken. This is particularly effective in cellars as a part of the "tanking" procedure to make a room which is watertight. For additional protection in those problem areas, your Hessle damp proofing specialist might advise the application of building paper (a specialist foil backed membrane) before the bitumen coating has completely dried.

Tanking: In below ground areas for instance cellars or basements, tanking is a process where any surfaces that are exposed are covered in a waterproof coating. All plaster and wall covering must be removed and the pertinent surfaces prepared correctly before any work begins, because this coating must be applied on the base surface of walls and floors. You can replaster any walls and decorate over the top, as soon as the coating has dried completely. As it must be applied to a whole ground floor or basement level of a building, this is an incredibly disruptive job. It is therefore preferable to seek the advice of at least two or three damp proofing specialists to guarantee that this really is the only option.

SOLVING DAMP PROBLEMS WITH DEHUMIDIFIERS

Issues with condensation can definitely be helped through the use of dehumidifiers, which are an efficient way to remove moisture from the air. The main problem with dehumidifiers in attempting to prevent damp is that they only mask the cause of the damp, don't cure it. If you're suffering with mould or damp in any area of your home in Hessle, you should speak to an experienced damp proofing specialist for the best advice.
