Signs of Rising Damp are usually observed as a damp mark or stain patch to the decorative wall covering to the lower wall areas normally above skirting board level, this is usually the first sign of failure of the existing damp course or the omission of a damp course barrier in new build properties. Rising Damp is mainly found on older properties where the existing damp proof course barrier has deteriorated due to age as a result of wear. Kerelaw Building Preservation treatments for Damp Proofing typically involves the installation of a new horizontal Damp Proof Course barrier and our preferred method is the use of injection barrier chemical cream or gel which is inserted by boring and injecting into the base of the treatment walls.
Condensation is responsible for many damp related problems within buildings and normally results in mould growth on furnishings, walls and clothing. In many cases condensation can be alleviated by moisture management and the appropriate control of ventilation and heating, specialist mould inhibitor paints can be used and the installation of specialist passyfier vents can be fitted to control condensation related problems, our company will carry out an inspection of your property to identify the extent of mould and condensation related dampness and establish the source and provide recommendations to remove mould and control condensation affected areas.
