Pontefract homes are commonly affected by two types of damp, rising damp being the most common. Water travels upwards in walls through what is referred to as the ‘capillary action’. Via this natural process, water is drawn upwards from the ground and into a property, causing damage as it goes. Signs of this kind of damp include damage to your décor, such as the previously mentioned paint and wallpaper issues.
Our CSRT Surveyors are experts and can identify the cause of rising damp, recommending the appropriate treatment to get rid of it for good. PCAQ Technicians, trained specialists in damp proofing Pontefract, carry out all damp associated works, ensuring that your home becomes dry and stays dry, wherever you are in Yorkshire.
A less common form of damp is penetrating damp. This is particularly an issue for cellars and basements where the walls are surrounded by saturated earth. Being in contact with the ground means that these walls are constantly exposed to moisture, often under water pressure which can increase the severity of the problem that is created. Again, travelling via ‘capillary action’ to penetrate and moisten the wall, potentially creating a cold environment where mould might grow and decoration might be spoiled. The presence of a wet and humid environment can give rise to the formation of mould, exacerbating respiratory issues, as well as making the home harder to keep warm.
Other issues that can cause penetrating dampness are:
