Huddersfield and West Yorkshire offer some of the country’s most beautiful and oldest properties. However, as older properties naturally deteriorate, their beauty and integrity can lessen as damp issues set in. Some of the most common causes of damp in Huddersfield include:
If left untreated the water ingress caused by these issues can allow moisture to spread throughout your property and create serious damp problems. If you believe your property has damp issues get in touch today for a free consultation.
A variety of defects in your property can allow water to be absorbed and cause damp issues.
In Huddersfield the most common type of damp we find is rising damp. Rising damp occurs when excess moisture is absorbed upwards from the ground and into the walls of your home, leading to damp issues which can cause structural damage in time.
Additionally, penetrating damp is common in Huddersfield. Rather than water being drawn up from the ground, penetrating damp moves laterally (sideways) through brickwork; it is common in earth-retaining walls such as basements and cellars.
The key signs of damp are:
Popular in Huddersfield as it can be applied retrospectively, our chemical damp proof course adds a water-resistant quality to the mortar between your property’s brickwork. The ALLDAMP chemical damp treatment is exclusive to Allerton and comes with a 20-year guarantee when installed by Allerton.
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.
The ALLDAMP damp proofing membrane creates a damp proof barrier and cavity between the existing brickwork and internal wall surface, preventing future damp penetration.
ALLDAMP Damp Proofing Membrane is an incredibly versatile product which is suitable for use above and below ground, including for waterproofing basements.
Untreated damp facilitates the growth of wet and dry rot as well as woodworm infestation, all of which will cause your building’s materials to decay, compromising the structural integrity of your building.
If you see any signs of damp, get in touch with a damp specialist in Huddersfield immediately, or find out more about dry rot treatments in Huddersfield. The sooner you speak to a damp proofing expert the sooner you’ll have peace of mind that your building is safe and sound.
