Damp Proofing Specialists in Basingstoke, Hampshire & Surrounding Areas
Damp issues require thorough investigation before any remedial treatment is proposed. At Harding Homes, we identify the likely source of moisture ingress and structural dampness, so you understand the root cause before committing to remedial work.
Four generations of family building experience, applied to specialist damp investigation.
Damp problems we investigate
We provide specialist investigation for a wide range of moisture-related issues, identifying the likely source of moisture before recommending remedial work.
Rising Damp
Ground water travelling up through masonry, typically appearing on the lower sections of ground floor walls.
Penetrating Damp
Moisture entering through external walls, identifying porous masonry or structural ingress points during our survey.
External Defects
Damp caused by failed pointing, gutter issues or roof defects that allow water to bypass the property's protection.
Condensation
Internal dampness caused by lifestyle moisture and poor ventilation, often resulting in black mould and staining.
Water Ingress
Investigation into active moisture entry from failed drains, plumbing leaks or structural compromises.
Plaster Damage
Identifying salt-contaminated wall sub-surfaces that require specialist remedial plastering to ensure longevity.
Affected Timber
Professional assessment of timber moisture levels to prevent dry rot, wet rot and wood-boring insect infestations.
Note: These signs indicate a problem, but not necessarily its source. Professional investigation is key to avoiding wasted remedial expense.
