Damp Walls Portugal

Its inevitable at this time of year (October, November) that we regularly receive torrential rain storms depositing three to six inches of rain over a couple of days. This tests our homes watertight properties to the full and often unfortunately they fail.

There are several reasons why you have damp walls Portugal .

Here are a few starting with the easiest to fix and ending with the most costly problems to fix.

Cracked, miss aligned or missing roof tile.

Cracked, missing or unpainted exterior wall render.

No gutters or badly positioned,missing down pipes.

Flashing around chimneys, walls and adjoining house, missing, rusted through or often too small.

Flat roofs, verandas and terraces Than have cracked or moved so that the sealant is broken.

Sagging roofs causing mass movement of the roof tiles.

Rising damp due to no damp course being installed.

Underground water courses.

There are no doubt more damp problems in a typical Portuguese house the important thing is that there are successful cures for all of them.

Many of our clients are not in the country full time so rely on our regular photographic updates and written reports. They are always surprised when they make inspection visits. New Construction and Refurbishment of Portuguese Property It’s exciting for both our team and of course our clients to mark out on the earth the site of a new home. We will have been with them during the design process and have spoken to the architect many times so we will be comfortable with what we are about to do. For many clients, this stage is a little daunting as it’s hard to see without experience just where the house is going to be in relation to other things on the property. Once the foundations are dug out the house normally looks smaller than they thought, As the pillars and foundation wall start to go you get a much better idea of scale. You can see with your mind’s eye the location of the kitchen, bedrooms and so on. Once the walls are up and the first floor is in place the rooms start to looks smaller again (something to do with the light absorbing properties of the bricks) once the walls are plastered the rooms look a lot larger and it starts to feel more like the home our clients imagined building. As the build progresses we are involved with many specialist subcontractors and it is our job the get them on site at the right time so that the trades do not overlap and time is not wasted. Once the roof is on and tiled it is traditional in this area to have a dinner on site. Everyone who is involved in the build is invited to share a suckling pig dinner with local bread, oranges and of course wine. This is a great way for the clients to enjoy some local hospitality and meet the craftsmen who are building their new home. We also invite the near neighbors so that they get a chance to see what’s going on (when the house is at a very basic stage) and it gives our clients a relaxed opportunity to make their acquaintance. As we always accompany our clients to choose, kitchens, tiles, bathroom fittings or whatever they want. We can help with translation and of course negotiation! As the house is coming to completion we always have them professionally cleaned so that when we hand over the keys it feels more like a home than a building site. 2 months after the house is finished we are back to check for any small faults that may need attention and of course we are available to help and advise should that be needed.
