Damp Proofing in Glasgow
Identifying the signs of damp can be exceptionally difficult without professional guidance. If you fail to spot the physical damage to the walls or floors of your property, then there's a chance your damp problem may increasingly get worse over time. Rentokil's Glasgow based surveyors are specialists when it comes to recognising current and potential future damp problem areas - which is why they can easily recommend tailored solutions for damp proofing your property.
We understand how distressing property issues can be; that is why our team of specialists are here to help. Damp repair in Glasgow comes second nature to us at Rentokil, guaranteeing you a damp free property for many years to come.
Rising Damp in Glasgow
Damp in commercial and residential buildings is often caused by flaws that have nothing to do with the breakdown of a damp proof course. These flaws allow moisture to rise up through your Glasgow property; often bringing groundwater salts, contaminants and other pollutants with it. This is often a slow process and many property owners may be unaware of the issue for a number of years.
Our Glasgow rising damp specialists combine their knowledge of the local area with their property preservation expertise and the latest equipment and technology to ensure your problem is remedied.
Basement Waterproofing in Glasgow
Are you in need of extra storage or living space? Well basement waterproofing and tanking is the perfect way to achieve this. Rentokil Property Care can offer you an efficient solution to prevent any basement from being affected by rising damp, penetrating damp & even flooding in Glasgow.
Condensation in Glasgow
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV)
Condensation occurs when high levels of humid air become trapped within the structure of a building and poor ventilation does not allow this moisture to escape. The moisture then begins to condense when it comes into contact with colder surfaces (such as windows or walls) and eventually leads to the growth of mould.
Wet Rot & Dry Rot Treatment in Glasgow
A large amount of buildings in Glasgow and surrounding areas are prone to suffering from some form of Wood Rot damage; whether the property is rather old and historic or more recent and modern. The two key types of fungal decay, which are Wet Rot and Dry Rot. These can both lead to structural damage to buildings.
Main Causes & Signs of Rot
Wood rot is a fungus that digests moist wood and causes it to rot. Wood rot can affect joists, window frames, floorboards, stairs, skirting boards or timbers in your home causing them to become weaker and excessive exposure to mould-contaminated materials can cause adverse effects to your health. Our team of Glasgow surveyors are experts in the identification of both types of rot within a property - therefore our technicians can then professionally remove damaged timbers with preserved-treated timbers preventing future wood rot. To ensure your home is properly protected our wood rot treatments are covered by our 30 year wet and dry rot guarantee.
Woodworm Treatment in Glasgow
We offer Glasgow residents entire woodworm surveys, assessing the full extent of your woodworm infestation and more specifically, the species. Rentokil Property Care prioritise local household safety and consider it to be of extreme importance to live in a safe household. On the other hand it is equally as important to have a safe environment for any customers and / or employees. Our surveyors will provide you with the best possible course of treatment to get rid of any woodworm infestation before they cause further damage in the future.
