Dampness in buildings is quite a common occurrence and can cause much distress for owners of many houses and often houseowners may be wrongly advised by some builders and contractors that their property is suffering from rising damp and damp-proofing works may be recommended. However dampness may be from other sources such as penetrating damp from roof or gutter leaks, condensation or lateral damp ingress from high ground levels. Our surveyors will be able to diagnose what the problem is and then offer cost effective solutions to alleviate any rising damp, condensation and penetrating dampness.
