Moisture - Water damage expertise
WE CAN CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE FOUR SOURCES OF DAMAGE IN RELATION TO WATER, AND MOISTURE.
I - Moisture, Consequence of faulty technical equipment or maintenance:
THIS MAY CONCERN FOR EXAMPLE:
- In the plumbing network, hot water heating network,
- In equipment, the most noted failures,
- In the layouts, Photo A
- In maintenance not carried out.
The consequences can be very significant, possibly involving third parties. Photo B
REMINDER: THE BATHTUB AND / OR SHOWER SEALS ARE FIRST LEVEL MAINTENANCE, PAYABLE BY THE USER.
II - Moisture, Consequence of the failure to take into account air circulation needs.
IT MAY CONCERN:
- The choice of room locations,
- The choice of materials, inappropriate to the use of the room,
- Poor ventilation.
III - Moisture, Consequence of the implementation of the building envelope:
THIS MAY CONCERN FOR EXAMPLE:
- The choice of the chemical composition of the coating incompatible with the wall itself,
- Poor installation of insulation from the outside disregarding technical advice (very common case),
- Neglected maintenance of any kind of coating
- Repairs carried out without taking into account nature of the supports (stone – concrete – wood).
THE SITUATIONS ARE HIGHLY VARIED (NON-EXHAUSTIVE LIST).
IV - Moisture, Consequence of the implementation of waterproofing:
THIS MAY CONCERN FOR EXAMPLE:
- The choice of covering depending on the layout (roof slope),
- The realization of the installation, slopes, diameter of outlets, management of height (of waterproof flashing above edges of a terrace) …,
- The combination of materials incompatible with each other.
