Harrogate is a beautiful area of North Yorkshire with a rich history and, as a result, is the site of many older homes. Over time, the condition of homes and properties naturally deteriorate, which can lead to water ingress and damp. The most common causes of damp in Harrogate are:
Without proper treatment, the water ingress can spread onto walls and into woodwork, causing a range of problems such as plaster spoiling, wood rot, and woodworm infestation.
Rising damp is common in Harrogate. Older homes commonly lack protection from rising damp which their modern counterparts have. This lack of protection means that water can rise from the ground through a process known as ‘capillary action’, pulling moisture into the internal structure of an affected wall.
Penetrating damp is another variety of damp that causes the same problems as rising damp to homes in Harrogate. Rather than water being drawn up from the ground, penetrating damp occurs when moisture makes its way through walls horizontally, as it does through an earth-retaining wall, for example.
The key signs of damp are:
Our exclusive ALLDAMP chemical damp proof course is our most popular damp treatment in Harrogate as it can be used retrospectively and applied to older buildings. The damp solution adds a water-resistant layer to your properties structure and is guaranteed for 20 years when installed by us.
A specially-formulated render additive which acts as a water inhibitor and plasticiser. When carrying out plastering inside homes, our staff use ALLDAMP Render Additive, turning their plasterwork into a damp proof barrier to future water ingress.
ALLDAMP Render Additive is used in most Allerton repair projects. With this system, homeowners can redecorate and furnish with the confidence that damp will not return in future.
Perfect for all projects, including waterproofing basements, the ALLDAMP damp proofing membrane creates a barrier and cavity between the existing brickwork and wall surface. The membrane can be plastered over and works to prevent future damp penetration.
Damp can cause serious damage to your property if left untreated. It gives rise to the growth of wet and dry rot as well as woodworm infestation, all of which can wreak havoc in the home.
If you see any signs of damp, get in touch with a damp proofing expert immediately. Damp and the defects that it causes can worsen in time, so the sooner you speak to a damp proofing specialist the sooner the problem can be addressed and the cheaper the repair will be.
