It is important to ask about this when this is the case.
• Read the dampness control approach. The specialist describes the approach to solve the damp problem in the quote. It is important to see if further measures need to be carried out. This is often the case. This will prevent the moisture problem from returning.

Frequently asked questions around damp proofing quotes:

Why hire a damp proofing specialist?
Damp rooms usually create an unhealthy living environment. Moisture in the walls leads to long-term mould in your home. Mould and moisture problems are bad for your health and for the lifespan of furniture. Therefore, try to take action as early as possible. For instance, a moisture problem in the crawl space can lead to the need to replace the entire floor. So always call in the help of a specialist in good time.

What problems can a specialist in damp-proofing help me with?
A specialist in damp-proofing is called in for damp or mould problems. There are different forms of damp and mould problems:

• Pulling damp
• Leaking basement
• Draining damp
• Wall salts
• Leaking climbing seam
• Condensation damp
• Water in crawl space
• Construction moisture
• Damp bathroom
• Condens on windows
• Mould in house

Describe your moisture problem clearly in the quote request.

How do I determine the reliability of a damp-proofing specialist?
All Renoca specialists are registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, you can also check a number of factors yourself on a specialist’s website. On the website, you can sometimes find information about a warranty statement, the portfolio and any quality marks.
The KOMO process certificate is an example of a quality mark that ensures the quality of a specialist in moisture control. However, this does not mean that specialists without this seal of approval are immediately unreliable.

What is the procedure for fighting the damp problem?
After requesting a quote, the damp proofing specialist will make an appointment to assess the severity of the damp problem. Determining the cause is necessary to determine the right solution. Following the diagnosis, the specialist will draw up an action plan containing the work to be done. Depending on the problem, in most cases the professional will use the following techniques: injection, impregnation or cellar sealing. In some cases, construction work is added, because the damp has caused such damage in the house that replacement of damaged areas is necessary. Here you can think of: new cladding, a new floor or basement sealing. A specialist in moisture control will in some cases carry out this additional work itself. Should this not be possible, he will hire a contractor to do so.

What is the difference between rising damp and penetrating damp?
Rising damp is one of the most common damp problems. This problem is often a result of a missing water barrier at ground level. This water barrier is often missing in older houses. Ground moisture is absorbed by the wall and thus eventually leads to moisture problems on the interior and exterior walls of the house. Penetrating moisture is caused by rain, snow and hail. This moisture penetrates the wall from outside and damages both the exterior and interior walls of the house. Rising damp and transmissive damp are also often the cause of mould.
