Swamp inspection
Do you suspect fungus in your home? Have it professionally inspected to avoid surprises.
Swamp problems in view
A damp room is a breeding ground for (wood-infesting) fungi. Not only can fungus cause damage to buildings, but it can also be harmful to health. Fast detection and remediation are, therefore, crucial. Yet, it is not always easy to spot fungus. During a fungus inspection, we determine the underlying cause. This is because fungal problems always go hand in hand with a moisture problem. During an inspection, we map out the cause and extent and give advice on remediation.
Why Dolmans for swamp inspection?
- Swamp problems have an impact on the residents or users of a property. We provide thorough resident communication to include everyone in the process. Thus, we use (tailor-made) communication tools, such as our prevention booklet.
- By providing insight into which parts of your building are most susceptible to fungus, we will help you understand even better what to look out for.
- We provide not only inspection but also expert remediation of fungus. Thus, we not only help you detect the problem but also solve it.
Basement fungus and house fungus control
Two common types of fungus that we inspect for are cellar fungus and house fungus. Basement fungus occurs mainly on ground-floor floors. It often develops in wet wood. Inspection for house fungus is specialist work. This type of fungus can grow rapidly, so quick intervention is necessary. If required, we take the follow-up steps for remediation immediately after the fungus inspection.
FAQ
How do I know if I have fungus in the house?
There are several signs that may indicate fungi in the home. For instance, you can look out for discoloured or damp spots on walls, ceilings and floors. Also, fungus brings with it a musty smell. You may also experience physical symptoms such as coughing and sneezing that indicate fungi in the house.
Can fungus also affect concrete?
Yes, fungus can also affect concrete, especially if the concrete is damp. In general, though, concrete is less susceptible to mould and fungi.
Can I have a preventive swamp inspection?
Yes, we can carry out a preventive swamp inspection. If you are (have been) dealing with moisture problems, this is recommended.
How long does an average fungus inspection take?
The duration of a swamp inspection depends on the size of the building and the accessibility of different areas, among other things. Generally, we charge 1 to 2 hours for a swamp inspection.
Which areas of a house are most susceptible to fungi?
Spaces where moisture can easily accumulate are most prone to fungi. These include the basement, attic, bathroom and laundry room.
Where can I find fungus?
There may be fungus in wood, fungus in walls and fungus in floors. These wood infestations can cause rot on beams, resulting in a deteriorated foundation. Wood aphids also include woodworm and cube rot.
What are the dangers of fungi?
Fungi attack wood, so the presence of fungi can affect the stability of the foundation. This can cause the ground floor to sag. Besides affecting the floor, the fungus can also cause health problems. The moment fungus is detected, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. We understand this. By acting quickly, we prevent major problems.
