One of the most common damp issues we see is Water ingress from under a front/back door.
This is typically caused by a failed bottom door seal, an inadequate or missing threshold, or improper exterior ground sloping.
When rain hits the door, it runs downward and pooled water gets blown underneath by the wind, causing damage to floor joists and moisture ingress on walls.

Is your boiler losing pressure regularly?
If answer is YES start looking for any signs of a leak 👀👀

This property we started work on today has had a long term leak on a radiator but the owner just kept topping up pressure daily unaware of the damage the leak was causing . Resulting in DRY ROT fungus germinating under the timber subfloor.

Process:

🔵 Radiator leak develops

🔵 Water gets trapped under the floor and soaks into floorboards / joists.

🔵 When the moisture content of the timber gets high enough for a sustained period, fungi can survive and feed on it.

🔵 Fungal spores activate
Dry rot fungus spores are commonly present in the environment already. They only begin growing when conditions are right:
* moisture
* timber
* limited airflow
* moderate temperatures

🔵 Fungus spreads through the timber
The fungus digests the wood fibers, weakening the structure. As the timber decays, it may crack into cube-like pieces, shrink, or become brittle.
Even after the leak stops, damage can continue.
