Save Money in the Long Run with Rising Damp Treatment
Save Money in the Long Run with Rising Damp Treatment
Do it now, or pay later. That's the motto of the sensible home owner, even tenant, when it comes to rising damp treatment. Rising damp is easily the most common cause of costly home repairs in the UK: thanks to our damp climate, and the materials available for home building, we live in one of the world's top standing water traps. A fact discovered, to their dismay (as if they didn't know already) by some awful percentage of unlucky householders every year.
Rising damp often really starts its damage in the winter when it is harder to detect because the increased use of in home heating systems evaporates the tell tale moisture before it's had a chance to be spotted. That said, use of central heating, electric and gas fires in a home suffering from rising damp usually reveals intense condensation on the insides of windows so if a home is getting repeated condensation attacks it's generally time for the owners to start worrying. Or just get straight to the rising damp treatment and cut out the middle man.
Thing is, the longer rising damp gets left the worse it becomes. Untreated, it can cause mould, crumbling brickwork, spotting, cracked render or, in bad cases, serious structural instability. Basically what happens is this: standing water (that's water under the home that collects above the water table and doesn't go anywhere) gets sucked up into the fabric of a house and its foundations. When there's enough water in there, the materials used to build the house start falling apart. Then, eventually, the house falls down. Rising damp treatment, then, is obviously absolutely imperative for any home suffering the good news is, the quicker treatment is started, the less expensive the whole thing becomes.
Protecting a building against rising damp is actually pretty easy. The hard part is getting the damp out, if it's already there. To do that, a building needs to be professionally dried this can include the use of industrial blow heaters and hot lamps. Once the building is dry, it will need to be checked for structural damage. That damage has to be fixed before the next stage in the treatment prevention.
Prevention, the easiest part of a rising damp treatment, is also the cheapest and quickest. If a home owner is lucky enough to spot rising damp at a very early stage or sensible enough to put preventive measures in place before it even starts then damp proofing can be done in days, for very little cash. All it is - is a layer of impermeable resin coating the house. That resin can be clear, allowing the original brickwork or paint to show through; or coloured, which effectively means it's possible to decorate a house with rising damp treatment. In either case, the home is sealed from the effects of rising water, ensuring it stays dry inside and that its key structural elements remain sound.
Given the cost of reversing serious damp damage, it is well worth investing in early prevention treatment. That way, one never need know the pain of forking out thousands to stop one's house falling down.
