Damp Proofing in St Albans
Many clients are aware they have a problem, but are not sure if it's damp related.
So first some background.
It is reckoned that we spend an average of 90% of our life indoors. Moisture is an important factor in the quality of any indoor space, for example there is evidence of a link between damp housing and respiratory problems in children.
So conditions need to be right
Incorrect moisture levels can reduce comfort, and increase stress as well as influencing the occupant's health.
There are 3 main sources of dampness:-
- rising damp ( from outdoors via air and ground )
- penetrating damp ( from contact with wet materials )
- condensation ( from indoor activities and conditions )

All of these are likely to create damage to a building, resulting, at best, in defects in the decorations and at worst wet and dry rot thus weakening structural timbers.
Before initiating any remedial work it is essential to assess
- is dampness present ?
- is the building suitable for a particular treatment?
- is the building being modified and will that affect any treatment.?
Our survey will take into account all of the factors and we will only suggest remedial works if you need them.
