Damp can cause permanent damage to your home.

A house with damp patches on the walls and blistering paint, is not a good looking “HEALTHY” home.

I will identify the reasons and prescribe the CORRECT way how to solve the problem.

Damp
The ingress of water under a house is normal, but it should not re-appear in the walls and cause permanent damage and leave ugly marks.

A house with damp patches on the walls and paint blistering and peeling is not a good looking “healthy” home.

Storm water

It should not be necessary for you to open a door to allow storm water to go through.

Storm water can cause major damage to your property, which might not be covered by the Insurance Company if enough precautions were not taken.

Allow me to assist if you are not sure about alternative routes of storm water to and from your property.

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO “ACCEPT” ALL THE STORM WATER FROM THE NEIGHBOUR?

Test the safety of the garage door. It must reverse when it hits an obstacle while going down. If it doesn‘t, have it fixed as it is very dangerous.
