Leak to dry to treated, one company in Shoreham By Sea

Shoreham By Sea mixes flint and brick Victorian terraces around the Old Town, 1930s bay-fronted semis, shingle-set bungalows on Shoreham Beach, and newer riverside flats at Ropetackle. Low-lying ground near the River Adur estuary and harbour, solid concrete beach floors and older suspended timber floors each hold moisture differently, making leaks and flooding harder to dry evenly.

Drying challenges in Shoreham By Sea homes

Flint and brick cottages in the Old Town

Many Old Town properties have solid flint or brick walls with lime mortar rather than cavities, so water from a burst pipe or roof leak spreads sideways through the masonry instead of draining down. Trapped dampness in these old walls can take weeks to release using standard dehumidifiers, and drying too quickly risks cracking historic plaster and pointing.

Shingle-based bungalows on Shoreham Beach

Bungalows built on the shingle spit often sit on solid concrete slab floors with little underfloor void, so any flooding or pipe leak saturates the slab and skirting rather than escaping into a subfloor space. Combined with salt-laden sea air, this slows evaporation and raises the risk of rising damp and mould taking hold along external walls.

Riverside flats and older terraces near the Adur

Ground-floor flats at Ropetackle and terraced housing close to the harbour and River Adur are exposed to tidal flooding and groundwater seepage, saturating screed floors and wall cavities. Enclosed void spaces beneath timber floors in older terraces trap moisture long after surface water recedes, creating conditions for secondary mould if drying is not properly managed.

★★★★★

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

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 Shoreham By Sea?
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.
