The vital reasons to install damp proofing in a vehicle service pit
Running a vehicle repair shop is a profession that provides plenty of challenges. With so much competition in the industry, it can take time to accumulate a client base, which is built on trust and reliability. It is very easy for them to go elsewhere if their car isn’t ready to be away when it was promised or a job is botched, leading to time off the road for the owner, who is severely inconvenienced. Those delivering a reliable service and charging a fair price will invariably prosper.
One way for a garage of this sort to deliver the service that their customers are looking for is to employ a dedicated team that cares about the work that they carry out. They will go the extra mile when required so that everyone benefits. However, this works both ways, with owners having responsibilities which should include damp proofing in the service pit for many crucial reasons, with the job being carried out by those with extensive knowledge of penetrating damp solutions.
It is vitally important that such damp proofing jobs are carried out by trusted providers, which is a claim that they are proud to back up at Damp Proofing London, where we can provide a rapid diagnosis of any issue and transparent pricing so that you know exactly what you are being charged and what for. We understand the importance of a garage providing safe conditions for its mechanics to work in, with damp proofing reducing slip hazards and the chance of accidents occurring. Having a dry place to carry out sometimes difficult work can make the task easier once tanking waterproofing has taken place.
Mechanics have expensive equipment which they rely upon. Those who are forced to work in areas with excessive damp find themselves in increased danger, both to themselves and damaging their tools. Vehicles that are above a pit in damp conditions for any length of time are prone to rusting and their parts deteriorating. The metal parts which form part of the pit face similar issues when not addressed, compared to those that may have had a basement tanking membrane added to the area. Just as in a residential property, a garage which suffers from damp conditions can also be affected by mildew and mould, which can cause structural damage if not assessed and dealt with.
The unpleasant odours alongside a breeding ground for bacteria are an undesirable combination which must be avoided. Putting employees in a pit at risk from electrical hazards such as shorts and malfunctions cannot be allowed to happen and won’t be when the basement damp specialists have concluded their work. The health of the mechanics will also benefit when not surrounded by poor working conditions, so that they will remain fit to get stuck into their tasks, resulting in satisfied customers.
