Moisture impacts walls, floors, and ceilings in addition to the wood parts commonly employed for support. Failure to manage and eliminate this moisture will result in decay of the wooden components of a property, thereby weakening its supporting framework and causing more serious issues.
It is better to preempt a situation than to have to act later, as addressing it can be more complex and costly. Unfortunately, when one discovers the issue too late, treatment, repairs or replacements may be the only solution.
Signs of rising or penetrating damp may indicate that the damp-proofing on walls has been compromised, or the exterior coating is no longer preventing rain from entering. Our team of experienced professionals can provide you with treatments for rising and basement waterproofing, as well as any other related services. Should you require damp proofing in a property, kindly call us on 01273 920588 to discuss your needs.
Moisture on wood can lead to decay issues, compromising the structural integrity of a building. It gives fungi the ideal environment to proliferate. The most widespread issues concerning timber in constructions throughout Britain are:
Moisture creates the ideal environment for fungal growth, putting unprotected timber in your home at risk of wet rot. There are various types of fungi that cause this deterioration; thus, it is essential to address infestations promptly to avoid extensive damage.
If wet rot is left to develop without intervention, it can result in considerable structural harm. Fortunately, wet rot does not spread through brickwork and halting the moisture will restrain its growth.
Dry rot is a major issue that needs to be addressed quickly. It is an insidious form of decay caused by dampness, which can spread and cause serious damage to timber and other structural materials.
Serpula lacrymans is the only fungus that causes dry rot, and it’s the most hazardous type of fungal decay in structures. It can spread across an entire building, wreaking havoc on its structure. As mentioned earlier, dry rot can impact any exposed timber exposed to moisture content above 20%, which isn’t difficult to find in a building.
Woodworm, the larvae of various beetle species that feed on wood, can be identified by holes in the timber and frass (powder) present around them. Excessive moisture could be an issue in a building with an infestation; this is usually due to a lack of ventilation in roof spaces, cellars or other enclosed sections within a dry structure.
The Common Furniture Beetle is the principal cause of wood damage, accounting for as much as 75%. Fortunately, it can be easily treated with a spray. For more invasive species such as the Woodboring Weevil, Home Longhorn Beetle, and Death Watch Beetle however, gel treatment works best.
Property is vulnerable to a range of damp-related issues, such as wood rot and infestations of wood-decaying insects. In these cases, repair may be necessary. The best approach is to determine the extent of the rot right away and cut back affected timbers. Then apply fungicide to exposed sections before replacing rotten wood with new timber if needed. We strive to preserve structurally sound wood, but in some instances it must be replaced or repaired using steel flitch plates or epoxy pitch repairs.
A property survey should be done first when repairing structural timber, followed by evaluating the range of solutions that could solve the problem. Common processes for restoring include joinery and cosmetics, shaking and crack repair; splicing with timber resin (TRS) or solid resin can also be used.
Timber with designs and suitable construction can be commonly found in properties throughout the UK, however it is vulnerable to woodworm infestation, dampness, rot and fungal degradation.
