Penetrating Damp – Signs to Look Out For 💧

Penetrating damp occurs when rainwater finds its way into a property through defects in the external fabric of the building.

Common signs include:
• Localised damp patches
• Discolouration or damaged internal decoration
• Blistering or damaged plaster
• Rotting skirting boards or floor timbers
• Mould growth and a musty smell

Damp patches may become more noticeable after periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall.
If you’re concerned about penetrating damp in your property, contact Prokil Exeter to arrange a professional survey.

Project completed at FarmHouse

A major timber restoration project completed by the Prokil Exeter team at this beautiful Devon farmhouse.

The work included extensive woodworm treatment and joist replacement, with additional joists replaced where required. A substantial project that has helped restore the strength and integrity of the farmhouse’s timber structure.

From historic farmhouses to modern properties, timber can deteriorate over time through woodworm, moisture and decay. Early inspection can help identify problems before they become more extensive.
