Dry Rot and Woodworm

As with damp proofing, Tapco HomeDry.com’s dry rot remedial work is covered by a 20-year guarantee. The company has carried out numerous dry rot eradication contracts and its technicians are fully conversant with the latest safe chemicals and preservatives. A surveyor will visit to inspect timbers and assess the extent of the infestation and identify the source of the damp. All fungus-affected wood is safely disposed of and replaced with treated timber. Care is taken to ensure that plaster is taken off and replaced over an area beyond the visible extent of the problem.

With woodworm control, the first job is to identify the species involved so the correct woodworm treatment is selected. Tapco HomeDry.com uses safe preservatives that allow rooms to be used again within an hour and offers a 20-year guarantee on its work.

Cavity Wall Ties

Tapco HomeDry.com also replaces defective cavity wall ties with modern corrosion-resistant bars and rectifies the cracked brickwork associated with this problem. Work is guaranteed and the guarantee can be insured by the GPI scheme.

Blocked Drains

A fleet of vehicles with specialised de-scaling equipment and jet washers is available to swiftly deal with blocked drains in London and the Home Counties. Tapco HomeDry.com has sophisticated CCTV cameras for surveying drains to check for damage.
