Find a Property Care Specialist
If you suspect your house has damp, it is crucial the issue is correctly investigated and the source(s) of the problem established before taking any action because different types of damp often require different solutions.
The wrong diagnosis of a damp issue could lead to unnecessary expense. Unfortunately, the misdiagnosis of a damp problem is not uncommon, particularly with rising damp.
This is why you should use a Property Care Association-approved damp control specialist because they can be trusted to resolve damp issues efficiently and effectively.
Invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed and bamboo have become notorious.
