Rising Damp Solutions
Rising damp occurs when ground moisture travels up walls via capillary action. Preservit uses chemical DPC injections and moisture meters to diagnose and install barriers, preventing structural damage. Our 20-year guarantee ensures long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Dry Rot Treatment
Dry rot can compromise structural integrity. Preservit identifies outbreaks through visual signs and moisture testing, then removes infected timber, applies fungicidal treatments, and replaces damaged wood. Our specialists ensure complete eradication and prevent recurrence in West Midlands properties.
Woodworm Eradication
Woodworm infestations weaken timber structures. Preservit conducts inspections to identify beetle species, then applies insecticides and replaces damaged wood. Our eco-friendly treatments target eggs and larvae, ensuring safe and effective eradication across Birmingham and surrounding areas.
Condensation Management
Condensation causes mould and plaster damage. Preservit assesses moisture sources, installs ventilation systems, and applies damp-resistant plaster. Our solutions address bathroom, kitchen, and loft condensation, improving indoor air quality and preventing long-term property damage.
Penetrating Damp Control
Penetrating damp from leaks or cracked walls requires targeted solutions. Preservit identifies sources like defective gutters, repairs masonry, and applies waterproof coatings. Our surveys ensure accurate diagnosis, and treatments include plaster replacement to prevent future moisture ingress in commercial and residential buildings.
Questions
What causes rising damp?
Rising damp is caused by groundwater moving up through porous building materials like brick or stone via capillary action. It often occurs due to a failed or absent damp-proof course (DPC).
How do you treat dry rot?
Dry rot treatment involves removing infected timber, applying fungicidal solutions, and replacing damaged wood. Preservit conducts moisture tests to identify the source and prevent recurrence.
Do you offer guarantees?
Yes, Preservit provides a 20-year written guarantee on damp proofing treatments and an Insurance Backed Guarantee through CGS and GPI.
Can condensation lead to structural damage?
Yes, untreated condensation causes mould growth, plaster decay, and timber rot. Preservit's ventilation solutions prevent long-term structural issues.
Are your surveys free?
Preservit offers paid surveys for accurate diagnosis. Costs are offset against treatment if booked, ensuring transparency and value for customers.
