Rising Damp Ipswich assesses and treats damp in Bundamba, and the wall is metered before we quote.
Bundamba is old and mixed, with a long industrial history and housing from every decade since. Rising damp here is a problem of the pre-war stock near the creek and the rail line, where the houses are old enough to have no barrier or an early one that has done its century.
Workers' cottages and interwar brick, with postwar and modern housing around them. The modern housing is not the issue — brick veneer on a slab with a membrane under it does not get rising damp, and saying otherwise would lose an owner's trust in the first paragraph. The cases worth inspecting here are the houses built before about 1945.
Where the soil is clay and drains slowly, water that sits against a footing for two days after a storm is doing more damage than water that runs away in two hours. Where a yard has been levelled or filled, ask what changed.
| Height range, 250 m around the centre | about 41–56 m above sea level |
|---|---|
| Height at the centre | about 56 m |
| Bremer River | about 2.0 km from the centre (straight line) |
| Ipswich CBD | about 5.0 km (straight line) |
| Named roads | Brisbane Road, Naomai Street, Bergins Hill Road and Barclay Street |
| Named parks | Alfred Seymour Park |
Bundamba's centre is 2.0 km from the Bremer River, so the local water in the detail above is the creek, not the river. Note how long water lies against the wall after a storm, and confirm the age of the house before anything else.
The six signs are on the home page, the order of the work on how it works, prices on the cost page and the measuring method on the about page. Confirm the age of the house first: a modern slab house needs no damp treatment. For a pre-war house on clay, drainage near the wall can be part of the price.
We work across the Ipswich local government area and the western corridor.
