Let’s be honest, here in Cornwall it rains … a lot! It’s therefore not surprising that properties here can suffer from damp.
Condensation and rain penetration are major contributors to problems, but did you know faulty drains can also lead to damp?
If your walls are showing signs of damp, there are a few simple checks which may help identify the source of the problem.
Extra attention should be paid to bathrooms and kitchens as this is where drainage problems are most commonplace. Showers, sinks and baths all require fully functioning pipework to ensure waste water is properly removed. Blockages, broken seals or faulty plugs in these areas can all cause damage.
If you have concerns about damp in your property don’t hesitate to give us a call here at Cornwall’s Metro Rod. We will be happy to offer advice, and our fully qualified engineers have the necessary tools at their disposal to diagnose the cause of the problem. Repairs are often a lot easier and faster than you’d think with our no-dig liners. Blockages can also be cleared using high powered jets or electro-mechanical cleaning.
