This entry was posted on Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 at 12:01 pm

The first piece of advice we would give is to call upon our services at the first sign of woodworm. On first noticing a problem you may think it is not too serious, however there is a strong possibility that the problem is more developed internally than it looks externally and will get progressively worse if left without treatment. It may well be that you initially only have a minor outbreak but if left to develop the problem will quickly escalate and cause far more extensive damage.
On calling upon our services here at Advanced Preservations, the next step is to assess the problem and diagnose whether it is currently active, dead or is being caused by something other than woodworm. It is always advisable to take on board the course of action that our talented team of experts believe will be most effective as they have a number of years experience in the industry and have treated and resolved various cases of woodworm in the past.
Although it is difficult to protect against woodworm, keeping rooms well ventilated and avoiding heightened humidity levels is the best option to reduce the risk. We also advise you to treat any new timber with chemical preserver and invest in insecticidal polish to be used on furniture to diminish the chance of any further problems.

For many, the basement may be an area of the home associated with damp and darkness that is only fit for storage. However, undertaking the right processes can see the damp removed and the basement becoming an extension of your home. One such process is basement waterproofing and here at Advanced Preservations we have the team and equipment required to carry out each method associated with the procedure.
Cavity Drain Membrane
This is the method of basement waterproofing that we prefer to undertake as it is the most sympathetic to the brick structure of your property. With the basement being the main area of a property to be hit by damp due to its location, installing cavity drain membrane will see immediate results that will enable your basement to become a more usable space.
Combined Systems
There may well be a reason that cavity wall membrane will not work on your particular property, in which case we will adapt and use a variety of methods for basement waterproofing. This may well include techniques such as damp proofing slurry coatings, epoxy resins and multi-coat render systems.
Whatever method of basement waterproofing we conduct here at Advanced Preservations, you can rest assured that we are leading and approved installers. With a technical survey conducted before any work commences we will be able to advise you on the most efficient, cost effective method of waterproofing your basement that will also have no effect on the structural stability of the whole property.
As we look to add space to our homes, why not consider basement waterproofing to make the area below your feet suitable for use? With a variety of waterproofing and damp proofing methods in our capabilities, we at Advanced Preservations will make sure that the most suitable procedure is completed on your property to see the best results.
