DampFinda is a division of LeakFinda and specialises in all forms of dampness 

Dampness in a home or office can be broken down into three main categories:

RISING DAMP

This is a condition where ground water is drawn upwards through direct contact with bricks and mortar. 

Water rises by capillary action where inadequate or damaged damp proof courses are present in the walls of the home.

LATERAL (PENETRATING) DAMP

Lateral damp penetration is a cause of penetrating damp. This occurs when the external ground level is higher than the building so moisture is able to penetrate the walls. Penetrating damp is usually classed as any kind of water that makes it’s way in from the outside and can also be caused by missing roof tiles, overflowing gutters, leaking pipes and other structural problems with the building.

DESCENDING DAMP

This can be associated with broken, missing or slipped tiles, leaking parapets, leaking showers, leaking balconies or poorly waterproofed windowsills or tops of walls. Descending damp usually appears as bubbling paint or damp stains to ceilings and walls. Leaking geysers or leaking water supply pipes may cause similar problems. Descending damp also causes secondary damage to buildings in that the unwanted moisture enables the growth of various fungi in organic materials causing rot or mould health issues and may eventually lead to sick building syndrome.

Rainwater is fast becoming on of the most valuable resource of all. 

With drought becoming more widespread and the high cost and concerns with the future supply and quality of municipal water, it makes sense for homeowners and business owners to be looking to harvest one of natures most precious resources … as it falls free … from the sky.

10 Reasons Why You Should Harvest Rainwater

1. It is cheap and lowers your utility bills
2. It is better for the environment
3. You can create your own private water reserve
4. Cheaper & easier than drilling for a well
5. Plants respond better to rainwater
6. With the proper purification, rainwater is absolutely safe to drink.
7. Reduce your risk of flooding due to ground water over-saturation from gutter pipes
8. Cuts down on the cities energy costs needed to pump and treat water
9. Helps reduce soil erosion caused by fast flowing water from drains
10. It’s fun!

Electromechanical drain cleaning, sewer pipes and storm water pipe clearing services

Nothing can be more problematic than blocked sewerage pipes. An obstruction in the sewer can affect all the plumbing fixtures in your house and if bad enough, can result in sewage backing out of some of your drains. Clearing blocked sewerage pipes is not a job you can do yourself, it takes professional expertise and equipment to hand this job.

Why sewerage pipes get blocked

Sewerage pipes are typically 6 inches or more in diameter allowing for easy flow. Most sewage blockages are the result of the incursion of tree roots into the sewerage pipes. The warmth and moisture inside the sewerage pipes attracts the tree roots which send out feelers through the tiny cracks or loose joints into the pipes. Once inside, the roots feed on the nutrients in the sewage and before long they grow into a mesh of roots that obstruct debris and blocks the water flow. The obstruction builds more quickly as the water flow slows allowing debris to settle in the pipes.

Fixing your blocked sewer pipes 

LeakFinda has years of experience working with blocked sewer pipes and follows simple yet effective methods of clearing sewer pipe blockages.
