By using CavClear’s specialised machinery, we can guarantee a completely cleared out cavity, meaning the troubles that come with defected CWI are no more! How clear do we mean?

What Goes Wrong with Cavity Wall Insulation?

The most common and damaging problem associated with cavity wall insulation is related to moisture penetration across the cavity, leading to damp staining and damage to the interior and exterior of a property. This moisture infiltration is typically caused by weather conditions, where gaps in the brickwork make the structure vulnerable to water seeping into the cavities. As water reaches the cavity, the insulation becomes damp, leading to its ineffectiveness. This dampness is then drawn through the cavity and into the interior of the property, causing further issues.

Another reason cavity wall insulation fails is incorrect installation. Poorly fitted insulation, such as leaving gaps within the cavity, can result in areas where there is no insulation at all. This can lead to cold bridging, where colder elements in the structure allow cold air to pass through, counteracting the insulation’s purpose of retaining heat.

Additionally, if a cavity is not 100% compact, void areas can gather moisture, further contributing to dampness within the property.
