A damp proofer in Great Lever is important. The roof of your house is an important part of the construction and needs to be weatherproof but so do the walls and floor. Most damp problems come up through the floor. This will cause any timber in the structure to rot. You will also notice the plaster on the walls changing colour and in some cases lifting. The damp seems to climb the walls and leaves marks up to a meter from the floor. The walls and plaster will keep sucking in damp for as long as they are left untreated. This will allow mould to flourish and can result in breathing difficulties to your family. The mould produces allergens and will often cause allergic reactions. Sometimes it can produce toxic substances. Your family may be plagued by asthma attacks and this can badly affect their health.

When you have a mouldy wall in Great Lever, a damp proofer can help you sort out the problem. A special plaster needs to be substituted for the current plaster. This will cure rising damp. Penetrating damp is dealt with quite differently. This can be from blocked guttering or wind driven rain. It can penetrate the building structure and cause the timber in the roof and walls to develop dry and wet rot. This will, in time, make the building unsound so needs to be competently repaired as soon as possible. The longer it is left the worse the damage. If it is caught early enough it can be stopped.

A damp proofer in Great Lever will need to be asked to check your home to make sure there are no problems with the building. Contact Ascot Damp Proofing if you require the services of a damp proofer.
