Rising Damp Ipswich assesses and treats damp in Tivoli, and the wall is metered before we quote.
Tivoli spreads across the hills on the north bank, with old mining ground beneath parts of it and river flat below. Housing runs from nineteenth century cottages to acreage, and the damp problems can divide by position: bridging and paving on the higher blocks, ground water and flood residue on the lower ones.
A wide mix, which makes Tivoli one of the suburbs where an assessment cannot start from an assumption. A hillside cottage from 1900 and a 1990s house on a slab three streets away have nothing in common except a postcode. The age of the wall and the presence or absence of a barrier decide everything that follows.
On a cut-and-fill block, the wall against the cut can be the thing that stops running water. Damp confined to that side of a building is a drainage question before it is a damp course question.
| Height range, 250 m around the centre | about 32–53 m above sea level |
|---|---|
| Height at the centre | about 49 m |
| Bremer River | about 0.8 km from the centre (straight line) |
| Ipswich CBD | about 3.3 km (straight line) |
| Named roads | Mount Crosby Road, Tantivy Street, Francis Street and Tivoli Hill Road |
| Named parks | North Ipswich Wetlands |
With the Bremer River 0.8 km from the centre, a house toward the river needs the flood question asked. A 90 m model cannot show the ground on one block, so the split in the detail above is checked on site.
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. On a cut-and-fill block, drainage against the cut may be the job. On a lower house with a flood history, the salted render is the larger line.
We work across the Ipswich local government area and the western corridor.
