Leak to dry to treated, one company in Lancing

Lancing's housing spans 1930s bay-fronted semis and bungalows inland, flint and brick cottages around Old Lancing village, and low-lying seafront homes near Widewater lagoon. Solid brick and flint walls, suspended timber floors and flat-roof extensions each trap moisture differently, while the seafront's proximity to the lagoon and River Adur raises flood-related drying demand.

Drying challenges in Lancing homes

Solid-walled flint and brick cottages in Old Lancing

Old Lancing's flint and solid brick cottages, many finished in lime or later cement render, have no cavity to interrupt moisture and depend on breathable walls to release damp naturally. When a leak or flood soaks these solid walls, water becomes trapped behind non-breathable renders and modern paint, feeding mould and blown plaster long after the surface looks dry.

Suspended timber floors in 1930s bungalows and semis

Across Lancing's inter-war bungalows and semis, suspended timber ground floors sit over shallow subfloor voids that flood quickly when a burst pipe or surface water gets underneath. Saturated joists and floorboards trap moisture out of sight, and the limited subfloor ventilation typical of these estates slows natural drying, letting rot and mould spread before the damage is even noticed.

Low-lying homes near Widewater lagoon and the seafront

Homes near the seafront and Widewater lagoon sit on low-lying ground where flooding and a high water table push moisture into screeded and solid concrete floors. Flat-roofed extensions and porches, common additions on Lancing's bungalows, add further risk, as trapped moisture in the roof void and adjoining cavity walls can linger unnoticed, driving secondary mould growth in these vulnerable coastal properties.

★★★★★

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

Tip: Painting or plastering over a wall that is still wet inside traps the moisture and the mould comes back. Drying to a measured moisture target first means the repair lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long does structural drying take in Lancing?
Most domestic drying takes one to three weeks depending on how wet the structure is and the materials. We monitor moisture levels and confirm when it is genuinely dry.
Can I hire dehumidifiers from you?
Yes. We supply, install and monitor commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, hired by the day or week for as long as the drying takes.
Will you find the leak that caused it?
Yes. We can trace the source with non-destructive leak detection first, so you are not drying out a property that is still getting wet.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Drying comes with moisture logs and a written report formatted for insurers and managing agents.
