Damp can have an impact on walls, floors, ceilings, and any wooden components that provide structural support. If left unchecked, this can cause the timber elements to deteriorate, weakening the support and potentially leading to bigger issues.
It is more beneficial to take preventative measures to avoid a solution than it is to act on one; as the latter is typically more complex and costly. Unfortunately, when an issue is discovered, it is often too late for treatment, repairs, or replacements to be the only way out.
Signs of rising damp or penetrating damp could point to damage to the damp proof course on walls, or to the outside coating no longer being able to resist rain. We offer rising damp treatment, basement waterproofing and all damp-related services. If you need damp proofing services in a property, please contact our experienced team on 0208 0162508 for expert advice.
Moisture on wood can cause deterioration issues, compromising the structure of the building in the long run. This provides the ideal environment for wood-rotting fungi to flourish. Common issues concerning timber in constructions across the UK include:
Moisture can cause wood in your home, from the roof to the basement, to be prone to attack from a variety of fungal infestations. These, known as wet rot, can be devastating to the structural integrity of the timber and must be handled quickly.
If wet rot is not addressed promptly, it can cause considerable structural damage. Fortunately, wet rot does not spread through brickwork, and if the moisture is eliminated, the rot will halt.
Dry rot in your property is a serious matter that needs to be addressed promptly. It is a destructive form of decay that spreads from the source of moisture and deteriorates timber and other property materials.
Serpula lacrymans is the only fungus that causes dry rot and it is the most hazardous type of fungal decay in buildings. It can quickly extend throughout an entire structure, destroying it. As outlined, dry rot can impact any exposed timber with a moisture content higher than 20%, which can be achieved in a building without difficulty.
Woodworm are larvae of beetles which feed on wood, leaving behind holes and a powdery substance known as frass. Poor ventilation in a dry building, such as a roof, cellar or other enclosed space, may result in an infestation due to excess dampness.
Common Furniture Beetle contributes to around three-quarters of all timber deterioration, and fortunately, it is relatively simple to treat, generally with a spray. Gel treatment is more effective when dealing with invasive bugs such as Woodboring Weevil, Home Longhorn Beetle and Death Watch Beetle.
Defences against damp-related issues, wood rot, and wood-decaying insect infestations are weak. When wood needs to be repaired, it may need to be replaced, reinforced with steel flitch plates, or repaired with epoxy pitch grafts. If the rot is detected early, the best approach is to identify the full extent of the damage, cut the timber to where the rot stops, and treat the exposed sections with fungicide. If necessary, we may need to replace the removed rotten wood with new timber, but make every effort to preserve structurally sound wood.
A property survey will precede an evaluation of potential solutions to restore structural timber. Common methods of repair include joinery, cosmetic repair, filling of cracks and shakes, splicing with timber resin (known as TRS) and solid resin.
