A damp check is included in our standard service, this involves the use of a damp meter which gives a percentage of moisture reading for each area of the body. Moisture is naturally present in the wood materials used in a caravan, so average readings are normal, and changes in atmospheric conditions can effect the background readings. Higher readings are cause for concern, but if detected early enough panels will not be damaged and can be easily rectified without the need for major repair. Removal of the corner moulding drying with heat and dehumidifiers and resealing may be all that’s necessary to disperse the moisture and ensure no further ingress.
Should the problem have gone undetected for some time, the interior panel may be soft, swollen or even pimply, then more serious action needs to be taken.
Damaged interior panels must be removed and replaced. Furniture may have to be removed to allow access. Any damaged timber framing must be replaced. New panels are cut to shape and glued into place with a high quality twin pack glue. The gluing is important as the rigidity of the wall depends on the sandwich of materials being well bonded together. Finally the outside mouldings are removed, cleaned and replaced on a fresh base of sealant, to prevent a re-occurrence.
