Rising Damp

Rising dampness is a very common problem in Hereford. It happens due to homes being built on damp soil. The moisture first rises up through the walls of the property – hence the name ‘rising damp’. As you can imagine this causes the property’s walls to then absorb the moisture like a sponge causing massive issues in your home in the long term, if not treated quickly the effects could be irriversible.

Penetrating Damp

This type of damp usually occurs when vulnerable areas of your home allow moisture through them. ‘vulnerable areas’ include access through roof tiles, clogged guttering, damaged pointing, inadequate damp proofing. All of the above are ways penetrating damp can attack your property in Hereford.

Condensation

Condensation is a very common moisture problem in Hereford homes, resulting in moisture gathering in certain areas as well as green and black mould forming on clothing, ceilings, walls, and various other surfaces in the home.

Dry Rot

Rot is caused when moisture combined with lack of ventilation provides the ideal conditions for fungi to attack. It can affect all types of properties in Hereford, traditional or modern, and can grow within the cracks and cavities in the walls feeding off debris and wood behind the plaster. dry rot often goes unnoticed until you have an accident or part of your property starts to crumble.

Woodworm

Woodworm is given to the infestation of by the wooden item by the larvae of many species of beetle. Signs of woodworm usually consist of small holes in the wooden item with live infestations showing powder around the holes. woodworm infestations are increasingly common in Hereford homes
