Rising Damp:
Rising damp is a common issue, especially in older properties, where groundwater ascends through walls via capillary action. It can result in unsightly tide marks, peeling wallpaper, and compromised plaster. Emory Preservations specializes in addressing rising damp, employing expert surveyors to assess the situation. Their solutions often involve the injection of moisture-resistant chemicals into masonry to create a durable, impermeable barrier that prevents further moisture infiltration. To complete the process, Emory Preservations excels in re-rendering and plastering, ensuring that not only is the damp issue resolved but that the property's appearance is also fully restored.
Penetrating Damp:
Penetrating damp, another common concern, occurs when moisture infiltrates a building through leaks, structural defects, or inadequate maintenance. This issue is especially prevalent in regions with varying weather conditions like the Southwest. Indicators include damp patches, staining, and damaged paint or plaster. Emory Preservations' expert surveyors and specialists are adept at identifying and rectifying the source of water ingress. The company is dedicated to providing long-lasting solutions, which, when combined with their top-notch re-rendering and plastering services, ensure that properties remain dry, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
Re-rendering and Plastering:
Re-rendering and plastering play an essential role in the damp proofing process, often following the resolution of rising and penetrating damp issues. Emory Preservations understands that addressing the underlying cause of dampness is only half the battle. Re-rendering involves the application of a new, waterproof external render, ensuring the walls are both protected from future moisture infiltration and visually appealing. Inside the property, plastering is essential for removing and replacing damaged or contaminated plaster, contributing to improved indoor air quality and preventing the growth of mold and mildew.
