Waterproofing systems, such as the Air Gap Membrane System can provide the solution to creating these usable areas. These cavity drainage systems can also be used to treat areas that have been subjected to penetrating damp or water ingress. These systems involve a studded membrane being fixed to the wall with special fixings sealed with sealing tape.
Almost every building contains wood as a part of its structure. As such, it is essential to ensure that these structural supports are free from infestation and decay to preserve the integrity of your property. Timbers can become affected by Wood Boring Beetles, such as the Common Furniture Beetle or Deathwatch Beetle, or by moisture, causing Wet Rot or Dry Rot, which can lead to permanent decay of the timbers. It is important to address timber defects as early as possible to reduce long term damage and significant costs.
Structural damage is usually the result of an environmental change, such as temperature extremes, flooding or damaged drainage, subsidence, increased weathering or property neglect. The Helifix system has been designed and rigorously tested to deal with these problems using innovative techniques to achieve repairs causing minimum disturbance. Helifix offers a full design and backup service with qualified structural engineers to deal with technical details and offer underwritten guarantees to approved installers.
