Rising Damp
If we establish that you have a rising damp problem then you have a couple of different treatments and solutions available to you. Treatment options range from common methods such as a damp proof course by chemical injection to newer methods such as electro osmotic treatment.
Dry Rot
The key to treating dry rot is to identify and remove any source of moisture that is allowing the dry rot to flourish. When the source of the moisture has been eliminated, further treatment will usually involve removing plaster, applying fungicide and fixing any structural integrity issues affecting the timber. This final process may involve the removal and replacement of structural and decorative timbers.
Wet Rot
The most vital step in wet rot treatment is making sure the source of damp that started the problem is removed. After that the area where wet rot has grown can be dried out and chemical treatment can be applied to eradicate the fungus. Removal and replacement of timbers may be necessary.
Woodworm Treatment
Peter Cox has market leading experience when it comes to woodworm and our technicians are fully trained in a variety of woodworm treatment solutions, enabling them to completely and comprehensively eliminate a woodworm problem regardless of whether the infestation is in bare timber OR in varnished or painted wood.
Damp Proofing
Damp Proofing begins with identifying and correcting the defect in the building that is allowing water ingress to penetrate. For serious cases of penetrating damp, along with the replacement of the plasterwork, it may be discovered that the penetrating damp has caused wet rot or dry rot and potentially harmful black mould. In addition, if the dampness has been caused by bridging through the wall insulation, we have professional solutions to deal with that.
