Damp Test
A thorough damp test could help point out early signs of water ingress and help avoid costly repair.
Don’t let damp take hold in your caravan, get a regular damp inspection! Regular thorough damp inspections can help spot water ingress early and help prevent costly bills for damp repairs.
Damp inspection is where a thorough water ingress test is done to determine the failure of any external seals, i.e. awning rails, panel cover rails, doors, windows access lockers etc.
Damp problems in caravans and motorhomes can take hold quite quickly and can cause huge amounts of damage if not detected and treated resulting in expensive damp repairs. Damp is generally caused by water ingress finding its way in to the vehicle through overlap joints & rails, sometimes also where there may be some unnoticed damage.
Damp gets in and spreads to the timber frame, wall boards, flooring and in more severe and long term damp cases it can affect furniture, furnishings, electrics and appliances.
Damp also has a distinct smell and appearance, generally by this time it has taken hold and caused unseen damage. Various steps can be taken to help prevent damp, regular damp inspections is just one step in the right direction, regular maintenance is another.
No caravan or motorhome owner wants to hear there is damp present in their vehicle, but damp is a common occurance and has to be dealt with as soon as it is possible, hopefully avoiding expensive bills for damp repairs, damp doesn’t go away by itself and should not be ignored.
