THE DYMOCKS BOOKSTORE
FREMANTLE
It might have been said tongue in cheek ... but, someone once remarked: damp is to old houses what inflation is to the economy - they both start rising rapidly if left unchecked
and leave everyone affected out of pocket !
After 14 years in the business
we can stake our business on this fact: rising damp doesn't go away by itself - no matter what you hope for ! Where will it be coming from ? There's a host of possibilities - it could be from mositure seeping through walls; leaks in the
roof, guttering or pipes; inadequate ventilation or insulation; capilliary action through the ground; or salt contamination when mositure is absorbed from the atmosphere into contaminated bricks and mortar.

We suggest that you take a look at the page 'Building Restoration/Flooring/Showers'
as the problems caused through rising damp, and the bane of most homes - the leaking shower, are close cousins. We can help you - even if it's just some
helpful, personal information over the phone. Leave a message through the Contact button below, or ring through to our office ... we'll be pleased to give you the best possible advice from our years of experience.
As with all the work we are involved in, the best advice that we are constantly telling people is to protect
their investments by getting a professional in sooner rather than later. It does save you considerable costs by attacking problems before they get out of hand and necessitate major repairs.
