    Investigate potential rising damp

    Posted 05 July

    Short answer is 100% recommended Came to investigate potential rising damp and fortunately found that the problem was actually a faulty shower. Communication was to notch and arrived on time as agreed, quickly investigated and found the real issue, and didn't even accept payment when offered since it was a quick check with no work needed. Extremely friendly, professional and honest. I would recommend DampCav without a doubt

    Thank you for your kind review. It's amazing how water travels but we got there and just need to get that shower sealed up now. :-)

    Damp investigation and install subfloor ventilation

    Posted 05 June

    I had originally had another firm in who said that I had rising damp in the living room, hall, dining room and porch. I always get more than one quote so I asked Joel to quote for the job. He said he would double check as a second opinion and there was no rising damp! All that was needed was some sub floor ventilation which he completed for me at a fraction of the price the other trader had quoted. Did a great job, punctual, cleaned up and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend.

    Condensation and damp removal

    Posted 28 May

    I got in touch with Joel for a survey due to tenants reporting damp and mould. He completed a full survey and provided the solutions to installing a heater in the roof with vents and adding a DPC to the lower floor. The team completed the work to a high standard and putting everything back to how it was (without the damp 🤗). A very professional team that is prompt and keeps everyone updated. Highly recommend Joel and team.
