Damp proofing and timber treatment in Edenthorpe
Most Edenthorpe homes were built in the second half of the 1900s or later, so their damp usually comes from a different place from an old terrace's. We are a Rotherham family firm, and we find out where before we quote.

Local knowledge
Damp in Edenthorpe homes
Houses of this age have cavity walls and were built with a damp proof course, so rising damp is less often the cause. Look first at condensation, leaks and rain getting in around windows and doors.
Cavity walls can still let damp in. Insulation that has got wet can carry rain across, and rubble or mortar dropped into the cavity when it was built can bridge it. See cavity wall insulation removal.
Paths, patios and drives laid higher than the damp proof course are another frequent cause, and one that is often simple to fix.

Questions
Questions about damp and timber in Edenthorpe
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
Why is the bottom of my wall damp when the house has a damp proof course?
Often because something is bridging it: a path, patio or flower bed built up above it, or render running down over it. Lowering the ground or cutting back the render can be all it needs.
Is black mould in a newer house a damp problem?
Usually it is condensation: moist air settling on cold walls in a well-sealed home. Working fans, open trickle vents and steady heating usually help.
