Rising Damp Services

Understanding the Source of Moisture:

Moisture in any built environment can originate from various factors, including external sources like burst pipes, damaged sewers, overflowing baths, leaky tiles, and even floods. Additionally, everyday activities such as heating, cooking, breathing, and showering can contribute to internal moisture buildup. If not adequately addressed, these moisture sources can lead to ongoing dampness or mold growth.

To ensure effective remediation, it is crucial to identify and resolve the root cause of the moisture and condensation buildup before commencing any building repair work.

Immediate and Permanent Moisture Relief

Immediate Moisture Relief (Short Term):

When facing a moisture emergency, prompt action is essential. Our skilled technicians employ modern drying equipment, including dehumidifiers, portable heat sources, and air movers, to quickly eliminate moisture from the internal environment. Simultaneously, we address the visible effects of excessive moisture, such as condensation and rising damp, through efficient manual remediation.

Permanent Moisture Relief (Long Term):

While short-term relief is critical, our ultimate goal is to provide a long-term and permanent solution. We accomplish this by implementing effective internal ventilation measures. We can achieve this through natural methods or, if required, by introducing a mechanical ventilation system. Our waterproofing and damp proofing solutions have proven track records in significantly reducing moisture levels within buildings.

Inspect, Dry, Repair, and Ventilate:

Our approach to moisture remediation involves four key steps:

Inspect: Utilizing the latest moisture detection equipment and thorough visual inspection, we identify moisture sources. In cases where physical access is limited, we leverage infra-red and thermal imaging inspection cameras to ensure a comprehensive assessment.

Dry: Efficiently drying out affected areas requires knowledge, experience, and powerful equipment. United Trade Links boasts a wide range of sophisticated drying equipment, ensuring thorough and effective drying procedures.

Repair: Moisture can cause damage to various building materials, including plaster, render, floorboards, and structural timbers. Our skilled team excels in professional repairs, restoring water-affected materials to their original state.

Ventilate: Achieving long-term relief involves increasing ventilation within the building envelope or subfloor (for rising damp treatment). Addressing water ingress is crucial for the success of any remediation effort.
