And so we started off another year with some rising damp problems. Good standard practice is to have a dry cut joint between your floor slab and outer walls. It is also important to determine if the building was constructed correctly with the use of DPC.

Preparation has to be done properly before new primer and paint is applied on any home or Boundary walls. 👌

Trees next to boundary walls can cause some structural damage. Would be best to remove the roots before they apply additional loads onto the wall. 👍

Flashing not doing what it should. Cause of problem - Incorrect flashing used and build up of leaves. 💦 💦

Client had serious water problems with their flat roof which was built incorrectly 💦. Applying normal Acrylic waterproofing will not work due to the staggered formation of the tiles. Best solution for this was a oversize flashing. 💯

Lets talk roof maintenance - Keeping your roof clear from leaves and natural material/s can save your ceiling!

In the below picture rain water was running over the valley flashing and onto the ceiling.
