Information on property condensation…
Penetrating damp can affect buildings of any age, type or construction.
Penetrating Damp is normally caused by leaking rain water goods such as gutters or roofs. Plumbing can also cause problems where water has entered the property. This is known as water ingress.
Damp Stop has many years of experience identifying the cause of Penetrating Damp and would always inspect:
• Rain water goods ( Gutters, down pipes etc.), flashing, rendering and window frames.
• Down pipes, ensuring they are unobstructed and water can flow freely.
• Guttering to determine whether it is in need of repair.
• Rendering, checking for cracks and re-sealing any gaps that may exist around window frames.
• Window sills, checking the drip groove which sheds rainwater so it does not hit the house wall. It could be blocked with moss or dirt.
