Burnthwaite Road Fulham - Damp
Dawes Building services were instructed by a landlord to undertake a specialist damp inspection on a Victorian property in Fulham.
The client complained that the damp had reappeared after it was chemically injected two years ago by a damp contractor who stated the issue was "Rising Damp".
We investigated thoroughly by pressure testing the heating systems, dye testing, roof inspection, drainage surveys and more.
Following on from the investigation, the damp issue was caused from water ingress tracking down the mortar courses on the exterior wall.
The solution for this was to hack of existing spalled mortar and repoint using a lime mortar mix.
Six months on and the client is damp free.
