If you’re searching online for ‘damp proofing Cheltenham’, it’s likely that you’re experiencing some level of dampness or moisture ingress in your property. Before being able to effectively treat and manage increased levels of damp in your home, a comprehensive damp proofing survey should be carried out. At Biocraft, we have carried out hundreds of comprehensive damp surveys throughout properties in the South West.
We have also seen multiple cases of water ingress and moisture build-up in homes that have previously paid for a ‘damp survey’. There have been many issues with poor surveying and misdiagnosis with damp problems – which has inevitably left homeowners paying for poor or ineffective damp treatments. We cannot stress the importance of employing professional, certified surveyors to carry out all damp proofing surveys and treatments. Failure to identify essential causes of damp could lead to poor quality treatments and future costs to rectify and repair structural damage caused to walls in your property.
With hundreds of surveys and treatments carried out, Biocraft’s qualified and experienced surveyors are on hand to carry out a comprehensive survey on your property today. Our damp surveys often start with external examinations to identify potential complications to guttering, water runoff and even damaged brickwork & roofing. All surveys come with a comprehensive report and outline all effective damp treatments you’ll find when searching for damp proofing Cheltenham.
