Common questions

Penetrating Damp Treatment in Romsey: your questions

Why does the damp patch get worse when it rains?

That is the tell-tale sign of penetrating damp: water is coming in through an external fault on the Romsey property, so it worsens with the weather.

Do you fix the outside as well as the inside?

Yes. We put the external fault right first, then make good the plaster inside once the wall has dried.

Can you find the leak?

Yes. Tracing the true point of entry is the most important part of the job, and it is what stops the damp coming straight back after repair.
