England 13/1/2013 – Damp proofing in Essex and the surrounding area is a service there is a surprising level of demand for
The search term damp proofing Essex is typed into Google, and other search engines on a surprisingly regular basis. Many think of the county of Essex as being one where most buildings have been constructed in the past few decades. In reality, it is a county that also has a significant number of homes that were built before damp proofing became obligatory. Eventually most of these older buildings end up with a damp problem and owners have little choice but to have a damp course retrofitted to the building.
However, even buildings that had a damp course incorporated into it at the time of building sometimes have problems with damp. On occasion, the damp course is breached. There are several possible reasons for this. Sometimes the damp course has not been installed properly or inferior products have been used. These issues can both lead to the damp course failing. Occasionally chemicals in the stone or cement can react with the damp coursing and it can begin to break down.
Other kinds of damp proofing in Essex
Increasingly, commercial buildings are being converted to residential use and in some cases they need their damp coursing overhauled. Sometimes people want to build extensions, which of course also need to have a proper damp course fitted. People are increasingly converting their basements, which often need specialist damp proofing to render them habitable.
Adobing have been providing damp proofing in Essex for several decades. Over that time, the work they are doing has slowly changed. They are still fitting damp courses to older buildings, extensions and retrofitting to buildings with damp problems. However, flooding is slowly becoming a problem. People are finding that water sits on their patio for weeks at a time up against the wall of their building. Whilst the damp course protects the building to some extent, this is still far from ideal. These days a lot of their customers want simple surface drainage retro fitted to their outside areas to prevent damp problems.
