Tapco HomeDry Services carry out all aspects of property maintenance to stop damp affecting the structure and fabric of your building. All timber decay is sensitive to high temperature and cannot survive when the moisture content is below 20%. It is therefore very important to ensure that your property is kept well maintained and free from water ingress. The most common causes of rain penetration are:-
Defective tiles or slates
Defective chimney stacks
Open chimney pots
Defective lead flashings or soakers
Defective flat roofs
Leaking rain water goods
Defective rendering or pointing
Decayed joinery
High external ground level or flower beds
Any of these can allow rain to penetrate and cause costly damage or decay and in most cases you may not be insured. Although it is sometimes easy to ignore problems that are occurring outside, you should be aware that the cost of carrying out these repairs are very often a fraction of the cost for repairing the damage they can cause inside. In many cases we may recommend certain repairs when carrying out a damp survey and we strongly advise that they are done in conjunction with our damp proofing works.
Tapco HomeDry Services will carry out any repairs to your property that will stop damp from entering the internal surfaces. All of our work is carried out to a high standard in accordance with Health and Safety requirements.
