10 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.Verified reviewerJob location: PR6 10 Damp proof course living room

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.Verified reviewerJob location: OL12Response from DampCav

10 Resolved My Issues with Damp
Posted 16 May
Joel and the team quickly identified the root cause of the damp, it was condensation based, as the house is old. To resolve we arranged fitting of damp extractor fans and a PVR system fitted in the loft. The team was professional, the job was completed quickly and the results have been fantastic. No trying to over sell etc, Joel just presents the different options, provides good advice on how to improve the damp in addition to the work we had done. All in all a great customer experience and well worth the money we spentVerified reviewerJob location: BL0Response from DampCav
Thank you so much for the nice review, the team worked really hard to deliver the project. We really liked working at your home and meeting Fergie the dog. Enjoy your damp free home.
10 Damp solutions
Posted 26 March
Joel and his team provided a number of solutions to deal with some serious damp problems. These ranged from fans and a PIV system to remastering, a damp proof course and damp retardant. The team worked hard and took trouble to clean thoroughly before they left each day. I was really impressed by the finish and the attitude of the whole team. I would definitely recommend DampCav and have already done with my neighbour and a family member.Verified reviewerJob location: BL6Response from DampCav
