Another positive recommendation for Jan and co from Silver Fern We had removed trees that were uprooting the brick pavement. Jan and co successfully removed the roots under the brick pavement and levelled the driveway off using the original bricks. Work done to a high standard and no mess no fuss with the work. Quote was excellent value and work done in under 2 days. Neighbours have booked him for some other work. Really nice guy and friendly workers throughout. Toilet and tea breaks provided by the residents here. Thanks Jan and co. -
Rising damp though rare is a thing - a few years back there was loads of companies that have all gone bust offering 30 year guarantees. I was fooled it is true but my post was really about how such guarantees work not about the existence or not of rising damp -
There's really no such thing as rising damp. Try as an experiment standing a brick upright in a pail of water and see how far the water actually rises through the brick and above the height of the water line. Why should gravity be overcome by a brick? Where are the capillaries in a brick to force the water upwards against gravity? Bricks aren't like kitchen towel. Most damp is either condensation or water coming in from above, or from broken or leaking pipework. Or through failing window fittings. Damp can travel sideways of course, but very rarely upwards.
