Woodworm, rot and damp specialists in Newtownabbey

Newtownabbey is largely post-war and later housing — cavity walls, concrete floors, and damp proof courses that were installed correctly when built.

When damp appears here it is usually a bridged cavity, a failed DPC at a later extension, or condensation from sealed-up ventilation after new windows went in. Genuine rising damp is less common than in Belfast's older terraces.

That matters commercially: you should not be sold a full chemical DPC for a problem that is a blocked airbrick.
