Damp Surveys Lanarkshire

/in , /by

Homeowners are often concerned when dampness appears at their homes in Lanarkshire.

There are so many different types of dampness, meaning that there are different ways that it has to be treated. The different types of dampness is as follows:

  • Rising dampness
  • Condensation
  • Penetrating dampness
  • Tramatic dampness

.

Rising dampness – This is usually a damp patch appearing on an internal wall. This is often combined with damage to the skirting boards and decoration. The result of this rising damp is structural damage to the interior walls.

Condensation – Your windows will start to steam up when the climate changes which results in condensation and mould growth.

Penetrating dampness – This occurs when moisture seeps in from the external walls to the internal walls. This is usually caused by construction that has failed and that has occurred at a high level of the property.

Tramatic dampness – This can be the cause of a leaking pipe, drain, tank or even a radiator. This is when water is soaked up by the building fabric like a sponge, with the size of the patch steadily increasing as more water is absorbed.
