Money saving case histories

Damp and timber surveys carried out by Adept UK to satisfy mortgage requirements
 
Mortgage surveyors & building society surveyors in Caernarfon always seem to err on the side of caution when there is the slightest hint of dampness or timber decay in properties they survey. This applies even more in a lot of properties in the UK where a lot of houses are stone built and do not lend themselves to the more popular damp-proofing systems.
 
Most mortgage & building surveyors in Caernarfon simply use a moisture meter to detect dampness but these meters are not accurate on plaster or brickwork and they often give mis-leading readings and then surveyors immediately recommend a ‘specialist PCA damp and timber survey & report’.

Forewarned that damp has been picked up on a mortgage survey these ‘free damp surveys’ (which are really just damp & timber quotes) will regularly mis-diagnose rising damp and recommend chemical damp-proofing which is unnecessary, expensive and disruptive. If there is any damp it can usually be controlled in more cost effective, eco-friendly ways.

Most houses in Caernarfon that were built around 1875 to 1900 etc. have had a physical damp-proof course fitted and despite what a lot of damp-proofing surveyors say these are unlikely to break down and allow rising dampness to occur. Despite knowing this a survey detected ‘rising damp’ on the front wall of the house as part of a mortgage survey and recommended further investigation.

We found that the existing damp-course was intact and still functioning and that the cause of the ‘rising damp’ was due to leaking guttering which had allowed rainwater to splashback off the driveway and into the base of the wall.

Moisture then travels through the wall by capillary action to appear as induced ‘rising damp’ internally. No damp-proofing works were required and all that was needed was the replacement of the defective gutter, saving our client the expense of having unnecessary and expensive damp-proofing works carried out.

Condensation Specialists in Caernarfon

Adept UK damp and condensation specialists have helped reduce condensation and damp issues in Caernarfon and the surrounding areas.  At Adept UK, we pride ourselves in our customer service and look forward to demonstrating how we can assist you and your condensation problems.

In Caernarfon condensation and damp problems can cause significant damage to properties, and if left untreated it can take a long time and be very expensive to repair.

Damp & condensation problems can lead to further issues including mould, decorative spoiling & damage to furniture and house contents. Of the many problems that can affect your home over time, dampness & condensation are two of the most troubling. Damp is capable of affecting the whole structure of your property and can also result in health problems for residents. 

These problems cause stress and worry, for home owners, tenants and landlords. Damp and condensation look’s unsightly, despite regular cleaning, so it is essential to deal with the root cause. 

Obtaining an independent survey is advisable for an accurate and informative diagnosis, using plain English, with no hidden agenda of obtaining works or materials that are often ineffective and often not needed

Diagnosing damp & timber decay problems – what signs to look for

The first step in fixing dampness is to find the main source. There are many different types of dampness – here are the signs you should be looking out for.

RISING DAMP

Rising damp is caused by a non-existent or faulty damp proof course and describes the action of groundwater moving up through a wall through capillary action. Due to the nature of rising damp, only your ground floor will be affected by this type of damp. Signs of rising damp include:

• A noticeable damp tidemark on an interior walls up to 1.5m
• Peeling or flaking skirting boards
• Blistering plaster and paintwork
• White powder on internal walls (salts)

PENERTRATING DAMPNESS

Penetrating damp, otherwise referred to as water ingress, means that water is making its way into your home from the outside. This can occur in a number of ways, either via a burst pipe, leaky roof, or damaged masonry. Common signs of penetrating damp include:

• Localised damp patches on walls and ceilings
• Damp that becomes more visible when it rains
• Moss or algae growth on external walls
• Damaged brick &stonework
• Damaged guttering and down pipes

CONDENSATION

Condensation is caused by poor ventilation and is the most common type of damp to affect UK homes. Condensation mostly occurring during the winter when the difference between external and internal temperatures is most dramatic. Signs of condensation problem include:

• Fogging on windows
• Black mould growth on windowsills, walls or even furniture
• Smell of mildew
• Blistering paint
• Peeling wallpaper

TIMBER ROT

If timber comes into contact with damp masonry, beetle infestation & wood rot can occur – beetle infestation can occur with only the slightest amount of moisture. Where timbers form structural elements to your property such as roof timbers, floor joists and timber lintels etc. it is important to act quickly when a defect is found or suspected.

Beetle infestations and rot can cause timbers to become weak and structurally unsound, sometimes in a relatively short space of time. The quicker a defect is identified the easier and cheaper the problem will be to cure.

Wet rot fungal decay and beetle infestation are the most common problems found in buildings, however there are many more which can be identified by a C.S.R.T. timber surveyor. 

The characteristics of different types of rot and beetle infestation can be very similar in some cases; however, the severity and treatment does differ. All rot and beetle infestation can cause timber to become structurally weakened and should be investigated as soon it becomes apparent.

DRY ROT

• Damp, fungal mushroom smell
• Affected timber feels brittle and warped
• Deep cracks in the wood – often in a ‘cube’ formation
• Evidence of mycelium growth on timbers (white fluffy coating)
• Large fruiting bodies

WET ROT

• Affected timber feels wet and spongy
• Affected timber will appear darker
• Easy to crumble
• Damp, musty odour
• Look out for black fungus growth

Timber Survey in Caernarfon

A sub floor timber inspection will be carried out, and inspected for beetle infestation, wet rot and dry rot as well as making sure there is adequate sub-floor ventilation to keep the timbers dry.

Roof timbers will be inspected if safe access is available again inspecting the timbers for dry rot, wet rot or woodworm infestation. Once the timber survey has been carried out a written timber report will be forwarded to you via email.

Damp Survey in Caernarfon

The surveyor will inspect the exterior of the property for high external ground levels, which can lead to penetrating damp at low level and put any abutting timbers at risk of timber decay. Once the damp survey has been carried out a written damp report will be forwarded to you via email.

Damp Proofing Companies in Caernarfon

Many enquiry’s we have from clients throughout Caernarfon, is that they need a damp survey and quotation for damp proofing because they suspect rising damp and have been informed by a builder that they have rising damp and damp proofing is needed in the form of a chemical proof injection.

This is usually not the case. Most of the time dampness is found to be present due to lack of maintenance, bridging of the physical damp proof course or another source of moisture.

If you notice tide marks on your walls, peeling paint, wet patches or damaged skirting boards, you may have a rising damp problem, which most commonly affects older properties. Rising damp occurs when porous materials, such as mortar, bricks and stone, soak up moisture, and the dangers include timber decay, wet rot, various health conditions and more.

Initially, locating the damp proof course/level is the first procedure. Then identifying potential bridging issues of the damp proof course level, or in other instances other sources of moisture ingress that may present as rising damp to the inexperienced surveyor but in actual fact this is far from accurate.
