Protect Your London Property from the Threat of Salt Damage

Salt contamination is the hidden enemy that can occupy your walls, silently causing damage and compromising its structural integrity. While rising dampness is often the culprit, other factors like plumbing leaks or even condensation can contribute to the presence of nitrates and chlorides within your property's fabric.

Preventing Salt Damage Within Your Home

These salts, left unchecked, can wreak havoc on your internal decorations and the very structure of your building. Left to their devices, they build up to high concentrations, particularly in damp plaster, leading to a cascade of destructive effects:

Blistering: The salts crystallise beneath paint and wallpaper, causing them to bubble and peel away, leaving unsightly blemishes.

Corrosion: Metal fixtures and pipes succumb to the corrosive nature of salts, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.

Decay: Bricks, stonework, and even concrete can crumble and deteriorate due to the expansive nature of salt crystals within their pores.

Delamination: Tiles and renderings can detach from walls as salts exert pressure from within, causing unsightly and potentially dangerous structural issues.

Efflorescence: White, powdery deposits appear on surfaces, marring the aesthetics of your property and indicating the presence of moisture and salts.

Freeze/thaw damage: In colder climates, moisture trapped within salts can freeze and expand, causing cracks and further deterioration.

Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent these devastating consequences. Drysolve Surveying offers expert salt analysis testing in London, providing the information you need to make informed decisions about your property's health.
