What Damp Can Do If Left Untreated

These are real examples of what we uncover when damp is ignored through winter storage. The fix is always easier and cheaper when caught early.

Damp damage in timber framework

Timber Rot & Delamination

Moisture breaks down bonded structures, causing movement, soft floors and unsafe panels.

Severe damp ingress and decay

Hidden Structural Failure

Damp travels behind linings. By the time it shows, the structure is often compromised.
