Looking for a company that deals with damp proofing and control in Bolton? Dampness within residential places can take many forms and the only efficient way of deal with it is by finding a company that knows what they are doing.

In Bolton, damp proofing and control is done by qualified companies who are experienced enough to spot the symptoms of different types dampness and provide appropriate solutions. Condensation is the result of warm air coming into contact with cold air. This can happen in residential homes when the water vapour within the exterior wall of your house is deposited. Cavity walls and double glazing windows keep the house warm and decrease the natural flow of air. This is the common cause of condensation in residential properties. Signs of condensation damp include appearance of mould on surfaces, musty smells, streaming walls and streaming windows. Rising damp is caused by lack or failure of damp proofing. Failed damp proofing can be the results of blocked cavities. It can also occur when the water or moisture on the ground moves up through the brickwork. Signs of rising dampness include damaged skirting boards, damaged plasterwork and damaged decoration. Penetration dampness occurs when water enters a building. This happens mainly due to poorly linked roof, aging property or poor construction. However, rain that is driven by strong winds can also enter the house and cause dampness. Signs of penetration dampness may include mould on furniture, damage to decoration and plasterwork. But penetration dampness largely affects the walls. So if you suspect that water has penetrated through your building, you must start by inspecting the walls.
