Damp can affect the appearance, comfort and condition of your home. Stained walls, peeling wallpaper, crumbling plaster and persistent musty smells can all indicate a potential moisture problem. Cheshire Damp can help you investigate the cause and understand what steps may be needed to address it.

Identifying the source of damp is an important first step towards finding the right treatment. Different problems require different solutions, and treating the wrong cause can lead to recurring issues and unnecessary expense.

Our approach focuses on understanding the signs of moisture within your property before recommending suitable remedial work. Whether you’re concerned about rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation or timber decay, the appropriate assessment can help determine the next steps.

Properties in Aigburth can vary considerably in age and construction, so it is important to consider the individual characteristics of each building when investigating damp.

Rising damp occurs when moisture travels upwards through walls from the ground, often because a damp-proof course is missing, damaged or ineffective. Common warning signs include tide marks near the bottom of walls, deteriorating skirting boards, damaged plaster and deposits left by moisture.

Where rising damp is confirmed, treatment may involve installing or renewing a damp-proof course and replacing affected plaster with an appropriate system. The correct solution will depend on the property’s construction and the extent of the damage.

Cheshire Damp can help property owners in Aigburth understand the available options and take appropriate action to protect their homes.
