Calcium Carbide and Salt Testing

hello world!

In cases of suspected rising damp, accurate testing is essential to determine the presence of moisture and contamination within a property. We offer Calcium Carbide ("Speedy") and Salt Testing, providing precise assessments to support housing disrepair claims.

Calcium Carbide ("Speedy") Testing

This method involves extracting a sample from within the wall and using a calcium carbide meter to measure the moisture content. It provides rapid and reliable results, helping to identify excessive dampness and determine whether remedial work is required.

Salt Testing

Salt analysis helps identify whether damp issues are caused by rising damp (linked to ground salts) or penetrating damp (caused by external leaks). Understanding the type of damp is crucial in diagnosing property defects and ensuring the appropriate repairs are carried out.
