Common Damp Problems Found in Brentwood Properties
Brentwood contains a mixture of period homes, semi-detached properties, modern developments and rural properties. During our surveys we regularly identify:
- Rising damp
- Penetrating damp
- Condensation and mould growth
- Roof leaks
- Defective gutters and downpipes
- Plumbing leaks
- Damp basements and cellars
- Poor ventilation
- Bridged damp proof courses
- Hidden moisture within walls and floors
Our surveys focus on identifying the actual cause of damp rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Rising Damp Surveys in Brentwood
Rising damp can occur where moisture travels upwards through masonry walls from ground level. Common symptoms include:
- Tide marks on walls
- Peeling paint and wallpaper
- Salt contamination
- Crumbling plaster
- Damp skirting boards
Our inspection will determine whether genuine rising damp is present and recommend the most appropriate course of action.
Condensation and Mould Surveys
Condensation is one of the most common causes of damp complaints. We assess factors such as:
- Ventilation levels
- Property heating patterns
- Moisture generation within the home
- Insulation defects
- Thermal bridging
Where necessary we provide recommendations to help reduce condensation and prevent future mould growth.
Leak Detection and Water Ingress Investigations
Water ingress can originate from a variety of building defects. We investigate:
- Roof defects
- Chimney defects
- Flashing failures
- Defective guttering
- External wall defects
- Window and door defects
- Plumbing leaks
Correctly identifying the source helps avoid unnecessary repair costs.
