Drying out damp: Andrews Sykes keeps housing project on track

Posted Date 24/04/2024

Local borough councils have an important task to continuously build new homes and housing blocks for their residents. But with most construction projects, there are unexpected issues and hiccups along the way.

Our most recent job was from a local council based in a borough outside of London. They reported to our sales engineer that they had issues with a leaking roof which caused flooding and dampness in the building when it rained the day before.

After giving an extensive site survey, it was suggested to use emergency heating and ventilation to dry out the damp space so that the construction workers could continue on time.
