Problems Caused by Damp

Black Mould

Mould is caused by condensation, poor ventilation and/or water ingress through walls
or roofs.


Salt Damage

Salt patches are caused by contaminated water ingress evaporating through the surface of walls. These salts are hygroscopic and will absorb moisture out of the air and continue growing even if the original damp source has been removed.

 


Rising Damp

Rising damp is caused by a capillary action on moisture that has been allowed to breach any damp course



Humidity & Ventilation

High levels of humidity in your house is the source of a wide series of problems, from harmful black mould patches, musty smells in the bathroom, bedrooms and wardrobes. It will damage soft furnishings, clothing and has been identified by most world health organisations as a major cause of respiratory and other health problems.

 

Treatments

No More Black Mould

We will identify which of the conditions apply and carry out remedial works to cure the original problem and then treat the affected areas to prevent mould returning.

 

Eradicate Salt Stained Walls
Secotec will measure the extent of the problem, identify the salt type and treat the affected areas accordingly.





Neutralise Damp

We will measure the damp, identify the source and cure the problem. We have a range of damp proofing systems that can be utilized depending on your specific requirements.

 

Ventilation Prevents Mould

We will asses the extent of the mould problem and suggest the best treatment to cure it. At the same time we will identify the most appropriate ventilation system. Our new low energy heat recovery ventilation units will effectively prevent the return of mould and efficiently change the air without losing your valuable heat.

Treatments Overview

We have a wide range of curative products specifically designed to treat and prevent the return of all types of Damp & Mould.  

Mould and salt rising damp are seriously damaging to a house. Painting over them simply does not work. The problem must be properly diagnosed and treated with the correct products.

• Mould problems have a variety of causes and therefore a variety of solutions are needed. Firstly Secotec will remove and cure the existing mould, then decide whether fitting a simple energy efficient heat recovery ventilation unit will be sufficient or a positive air system is needed, We also have a range of anti condensation and damp barrier treatments for inside and out.

• Water ingress may be from a variety of sources, from simple rainwater not being directed away from the building, roofing tile broken or plumbing leaks. For every problem we have a solution, the identification of the source is imperative in deciding treatment. We also have a range of electrical and chemical diagnostic equipment along with fully trained and experienced staff.

• Rising damp is slightly more complicated in Spanish construction as building methods are different than in Britain. Secotec has extensive experience of all types of Spanish building styles and construction materials. Following our survey we will assess and recommend a particular damp proofing method from chemical to electrical osmosis barrier methods. This solution will be tailored to your particular house construction. Salt damage almost always occurs with rising damp. Our treatments will include neutralization of these harmful salts and making good the infected areas.

 

• Should you have an underbuild you wish to convert to living space or your existing underbuild has damp problems, we can supply a range of barrier materials from chemical tanking to membranes which divert water away from entering the building.
