Dry Rot Survey Day: Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd Uncovering Hidden Trouble

During a property survey, our expert timber specialist identified an extensive dry rot (Serpula Lacrymans) attack under the floorboards. A hatch revealed visible fungal growth, including white mycelium, spore dust, and fruiting bodies—clear signs of active decay. Limited airflow can cause excess moisture to build up on timbers and surrounding structures, creating ideal conditions for fungal decay to develop as shown in the photos.

Rising Damp Survey Day: Rising Damp? Let Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd Take Care of It

Rising damp is a serious issue where moisture from the ground travels up through walls, damaging internal plaster and finishes—often seen as tide marks and white, powdery salt deposits (hygroscopic salts). In the image above, taken by our expert damp surveyor, a 100% moisture meter reading confirms saturation in the ground floor lounge wall. Left untreated, rising damp can lead to structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. Common signs include peeling paint, crumbling plaster, and a musty smell. Early detection and professional damp-proofing—such as repairing or installing a damp-proof course—are essential to protect your home and health.

Damp Proofing Day: Teamwork Makes the Perfect Internal Corner at Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd

Having that extra bit of support during this stage helps keep boards aligned, supports clean cuts, and prevents issues like gaps or uneven joins that could compromise the finish or allow moisture in.

Here at Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd, we value this collaborative approach, knowing that a well-executed corner doesn’t just look better—it performs better, too. With the right support and expertise on hand, even the most challenging spaces can be transformed into clean, dry, and beautifully finished interiors.

Condensation Survey Day: Condensation Experts You Can Trust – That’s Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd

The dew point in this picture is 10.4°C. It’s important to know when unwanted moisture will form within a property. When the dew point occurs within a bedroom for example, the walls and ceiling form beaded liquid on the surface. Prolonged exposure from this action can form mould growth, which can be hazardous to health.

Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd is the expert in dealing with condensation issues. We offer professional solutions that tackle the root cause by improving ventilation, regulating humidity, and restoring your home to a safe, dry condition.

Protect Your Property from Rising Damp with Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd

Rising damp is a serious issue where moisture from the ground moves upward through the porous materials of your walls, such as brick or plaster. You can often spot it through peeling paint, damp patches, or a musty smell - exactly like what's visible in this photo. Over time, this moisture can carry salts into your walls, damaging paint, plaster, and even structural materials.

It's crucial to tackle rising damp promptly to prevent long-term damage. Left untreated, it can lead to expensive repairs and negatively impact the value of your home. At Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd, we carry out professional damp surveys to quickly identify the source and extent of the problem. Taking action early helps protect your home and keeps your living space dry, safe, and comfortable.

Plaster Fungi Day: Friendly Experts in Plaster Fungi Rescue- Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd

If you’ve seen something unusual—like in the photo—it’s best to act fast. During a damp and timber survey, our timber specialist, backed by decades of experience, identified Plaster fungi (Peziza spp.) growing behind the kitchen unit.

These fungi appear as small, pale brown, cup-shaped clusters with no stalks. They’re often mistaken for wood-rotting fungi, but they actually thrive in damp brickwork or plaster. The longer they go unnoticed, the moisture responsible for their presence will often lead to expensive repairs.

This is where Dampness & Rot (Glasgow) Ltd shines. We identify the cause, assess the extent, and deliver lasting solutions.
