Correctly finding the cause of the dampness
Dampness problems have various causes, including:
– Defects in exterior waterproofing.
– Defects in exterior cladding.
– Defects in roof waterproofing.
– Defects in window waterproofing.
– Plumbing problems (leaks).
– Defects in balcony waterproofing.
– Dampness penetrating through electrical conduits.
– Condensation from faulty thermal insulation.
Sometimes the contractor tries to fix the problem, but it comes back. This can happen when the repair only treats the surface, such as painting over it with anti-fungal paint, which cannot address the root cause; or the contractor may genuinely try to fix it and fail for lack of expertise in this specific field, which calls for real professionalism and knowledge. Our engineers have completed special training at the Technion in this area.
In the expert inspection, we examine the signs of dampness, identify its cause or causes, and detail how to fix it and what that will cost. When you book the inspection, let us know about any existing or suspected dampness, and we will send an engineer who specializes in this field.
