If the damp is left untreated the issues become much worse, in some cases causing structural damage leading to significant repair costs with builders and surveyors. When left untreated, the unfortunate fact is that the damp invariably becomes more severe and will eventually cause structural damage leading to higher repair costs in the long run.
Our team have seen and treated many penetrating damp issues in home and business premises throughout surrounding areas, penetrating damp normally manifests at heights of above one meter, in most damp proofing cases rising damp will rise to a maximum of 1 meter in height unless there is something like a half tiled wall preventing the damp escaping at a lower level. Penetrating damp can be treated in a number of ways but the best way is to stop it at source.

Rising damp in Liverpool occurs when your damp proof course breaks down allowing water present in the ground to rise into the brickwork and the internal plaster of your home. This water contains hygroscopic ground salts (chlorides and nitrates) these will contaminate the plaster and will absorb moisture from the atmosphere which will increase the amount of water in the wall. Some people think it is acceptable to have rising damp in their home and I am often told that they expect some dampness to be present in their property.
Condensation in Liverpool occurs due to the air in your property containing a high water vapour (high humidity) normally due to replacement windows and doors, blocked off fire places and chimneys, extra insulation in the walls/loft spaces and new highly efficient boilers. Lifestyle practices such as not venting the property whilst cooking, after showering, bathing and drying washing in your home are contributing factors. If condensation is present in your Liverpool property you normally experience wet windows, damp bedding and black mould growth on walls, windows and curtains.
Penetrating damp in Liverpool occurs when brickwork becomes porous and allows water to be absorbed causing damp stains and cold spots in the walls of your home. Penetrating damp can occur when the outside ground level is higher then the inside ground level, it can also come as a result of direct rain penetration. Typically, penetrating damp is either caused by issues with the plumbing of a building or by excess rainwater in regions with wet weather. Especially in places like Liverpool, where precipitation is more frequent than usual, older properties are more prone to leakages, making penetrating damp can become a serious headache.
