Common Damp Problems in Kenilworth
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Tide marks and salts low on walls of older houses | Rising damp treatment, DPC injection and replastering |
| Facade, roof and balcony leaks in apartment blocks | Commercial damp proofing |

Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Older houses. Many were built without an effective DPC, or have one bridged by later paving, soil or plaster.
- Apartment blocks. Facades, roofs and many balconies are common property, so the body corporate usually appoints the contractor.
- Commercial buildings. Offices, shops and warehouses often need after-hours work and phased access.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
