At this time of year one of the most common forms of dampness is the result of a heating, ventilation and insulation imbalance.

We can easily identify such problems using thermal imaging, air flow testing and thermo-hygrometer data logging.

Did you know that we are experts in timber decay and wood boring insect identification and treatment?

Not only that, we have award winning surveyors specialising in wood rotting fungi, termites, beetles and wood boring weevils!

This week we have been identifying problems and preparing repair specifications for a 1970’s semi-detached house, an 1830’s barn and a brand spanking new detached mansion. Oh, and btw, we are even Leeds City Councils chosen experts when it comes to correctly managing problematic buildings.

We understand buildings. We know how they are constructed and why. We know why problems occur and the correct way to repair them.

Solving problems is our thing and without meaning to sound smug, we’re kinda good at it hence our outstanding trading history!

For 28 years there has only been one brand in Leeds that people have come to trust and that is us!

SUMP PUMPS - WHY FOUL & GROUND WATER SHOULD NEVER BE MIXED

Foul gas will be able to migrate into the cavity spaces behind the membrane and will be able to escape into the building at the top edges of the membrane sheet, which must be left unsealed.

In the event of a pump station becoming inoperative, continual use of the sanitary appliances may result in the foul level rising above the normal operating level to the extent that effluent would back-fill the cavity drainage system and eventually escape into the cavities, resulting in contamination of floor construction.
