IS YOUR BRISTOL PROPERTY BATTLING A CASE OF PENETRATING DAMP?

Penetrating damp, unlike rising damp, can affect a property at all levels, not just at the surface. This is also known as ‘lateral damp’. Our staff are a professional team of experts operating in Bristol and South West England, taking care of the damp problems affecting your property. We are able to assert the type of damp and its causes, and perform a range of treatments and services to restore and prevent further damage.

Why has my property got penetrating damp?

Although external damp problems are more often associated with older properties, penetrating damp is a common issue that can occur anywhere. It can appear through a leaking pipe or an aging water management system, damaged gutters or roofing, or simply deterioration of brick and mortar which allows rain water to penetrate. The potential damage it can cause depends on the length of time it has gone untreated.

How can I determine that this is penetrating damp?

Excess water that find its way into the inside of a property will eventually lead to damp and moisture if left untreated. It is possible to determine penetrating damp if there is evidence of:

Damage to plastering
Patches of moisture that refuse to dry

Although there are other symptoms of penetrating damp, ADC - Ltd's property preservations team are experts in diagnosing damp problems and providing an efficient and effective course of treatment to your Bristol or South West England property.
