:: News Update ::

This month's pest news focuses     on the problem cause by inadequate or no sub-floor ventilation. By far the most common cause of rising dampness and condensation dampness is inadequate natural sub-floor ventilation. Lack of ventilation causes a build-up of humidity and minimal evaporation from the soil and base walls. Both conditions lead to rising damp and rotting of floor timbers.

Almost all older brick homes have grossly inadequate provision for sub-floor ventilation and the majority of minor rising damp problems can be cured by increasing the ventilation by passive or active methods. Dampness under the house will also attract termites.  If you think you have termites, do not disturb them as they will move to a new nest.
