Condensation is an extremely common problem in properties of all types and ages, and occurs as a result of an imbalance of moisture vapour in the air, ventilation, heating, construction type and surface temperature. Moisture in the air, produced by cooking, bathing and drying of clothes, condenses back into water when it comes into contact with cold wall and window surfaces. This condensation produces ideal conditions for the formation of black spot mould - usually Aspergillus sp - which is often the most obvious sign that condensation is occurring.

Rising damp will usually show as damage that starts at ground or floor level and rises up on the walls, causing damage to wall surfaces and to decoration. Untreated damp can also cause timber decay, leading to structural problems. Rising damp is caused by the upward movement of ground water in structural walls via capillary action.

Our surveyors can identify the exact cause of any damp, any general maintenance required to resolve it, and the most cost-effective professional treatments to eradicate more serious problems.
