HOME & HEATING<br />
Get rid of<br />
dampness<br />
in your house<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm and<br />
healthy for their families throughout winter.<br />
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of<br />
our older properties which suffer from poor, or<br />
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,<br />
many people have relocated to homes<br />
that suffer from rising damp which can be<br />
associated with health problems. Independent<br />
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can<br />
rise from the ground and enter a house every<br />
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation<br />
and musty smells. Moulds can produce<br />
various allergic reactions and the<br />
frail, elderly and very young are<br />
especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete<br />
Ltd is a locally owned and<br />
operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems<br />
caused by rising damp and are<br />
there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump<br />
a lightweight, flowable foam<br />
concrete under your timber<br />
floored home. Specially adapted<br />
for our New Zealand conditions and<br />
applications it provides a layer of protection<br />
against rising moisture. An unexpected<br />
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam<br />
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many<br />
owners of properties which had underfloor<br />
foam concrete installed, reported that it also<br />
provided protection against liquefaction after<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
