Rising Damp
While rising damp problems are less serious than they actually look, it is definitely a problem that is unsightly and quite unhealthy for your floors and surrounding walls. If left unchecked, a damp problem will cause timber decay and heat loss and can spread to the walls, breaking down the plaster and becoming a much bigger issue for your home.

Our floor sanding team will come in and remove the moisture source and dry out the surrounding wood to prevent the dampness from spreading further.

Dry Rot
A more difficult wood flooring issue is dry rot. This is a serious problem that can jeopardize the integrity of your entire structure. Basically, dry rot occurs when you have a living, growing fungus inhabiting your floors and it goes on to consume and destroy the wooden components of your house.
A Few Symptoms For Dry Rot Include
