Thursday August 17 2023 11 HOME & HEATING Ground moisture barrier under low sub-floor Now with the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. While insulation is important, it has been recognised that it is dampness that is the real villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes Standards introduced by the government effective from the 1st July 2019 now has a requirement to install ground moisture barriers, a key element in the armory to fight moisture in the home. Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed the effects of placing Foam Concrete over damp soil and had this to say: Condensation on the underside of a timber floor can occur where the floor is suspended over damp ground and the inside air temperature falls close to the crawl space air temperature. Much energy is required to vaporize moisture that penetrates the structure. By avoiding underfloor condensation, foam concrete can reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%. • Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier under the suspended wooden floor of your home, even when there is no crawl space. • BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961 • Members of the Insulation Association of New Zealand. • We offer a free measure and quote in the Canterbury region with no obligations. • Assessments can be made in all other regions by arrangement. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.

ATTACK RISING DAMP Keep cosy with RD Petroleum this winter RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight for farm and rural residents around the Canterbury region, however now days urban residents also enjoy the same excellent customer service for which RDP is known for in rural communities, through their home heating diesel. RDP began its home heating diesel delivery service to the lower South Island’s main urban centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin and Invercargill a number of years ago. Customer demand has continued to increase year upon year, and RDP has responded with specialised improvements to its delivery equipment. The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating diesel in each urban centre are drawn from the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This means they have the latest communication and GPS tracking technology on board, so the operations team always know where they are and how far away they are from their next delivery stop. RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come equipped with a specially-designed hose, through which the diesel is pumped from the truck into house tanks. The length of the hose allows the trucks to access tanks without having to enter the property, avoiding damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to go if you require diesel conveniently delivered to your home and as a loyal RDP customer you’re offered discounted pricing and can become eligible for value-added benefits.
