Tell us what you are seeing and roughly where. We will come out and meter the wall.
Rising Damp Hobart covers Hobart and the surrounding suburbs of southern Tasmania. The form reaches the same place as an email to [email protected], and either way somebody reads it the same working day.
Three things make the first conversation useful. Where it is — which wall, and whether that wall has ground against it outside. How high it goes — whether the damp stops at a fairly level line or spreads without a clear edge. What changed — new paving, a rendered plinth, a raised garden bed, a neighbour's driveway, or a renovation. That history can be the diagnosis on its own.
A photograph is worth more than a paragraph. If you can send one of the affected wall and one of the ground immediately outside it, that often tells us more than a phone call does.
We reply the same working day, confirm what the assessment involves and what if anything it costs, and arrange a time. You get the finding in writing. If it turns out not to be rising damp, you get told that, and there is nothing further to pay.
We cover Hobart and the surrounding suburbs, from the Georgian cottages of Battery Point to the post-war brick of Glenorchy and Moonah.
We come out, meter the walls, look at the ground levels and tell you what is causing it. You get that in writing before we quote any repair. The visit is $450 plus GST.
