Property Care Experts to Offer New Course on Dampness Monitoring
With UK weather conditions presenting a continuous threat of flooding, a new course to monitor dampness in buildings has been developed by the Property Care Association.
The course aims to improve expertise among organisations including loss adjusters, insurers, housing associations, specialist drying companies and building surveyors.
It has been developed by the trade body in an effort to improve advice offered to victims of flooding and other catastrophic events involving water in buildings.
Monitoring Dampness in Buildings is a half day course which can be delivered to groups of professionals in their own offices or at a location of their choice.
Delegates will learn about water infiltration into masonry and wood and how to assess the amounts of water and damage caused.
Hands on sessions will be held on how to use equipment such as electrical moisture meters and carbide meters and how to interpret test results.
Steve Hodgson, deputy director of the PCA said: "The catastrophic floods of 2007 demonstrated the need for property professionals to gain a high level of knowledge if they are to help buildings recover from water damage and allow families to return to normal life as quickly as possible.
"This course has been developed to support that process for the future."
The Property Care Association - formerly the British Wood Preserving and Damp Proofing Association (BWDPA) - is a trade association that represents professional specialist contractors, consultants, surveyors and manufacturers in the fields of damp proofing, wood preservation, structural waterproofing and structural maintenance - as well as flood remediation.
The course is one of a number offered to property professionals - more details are available at the Association's website at http://www.property-care.org/training-events/training-courses or by calling 0870 1216737.
