Management of rising damp in council-owned properties
Received: 31 July 2024
As part of my research, I am conducting a study on the management of rising damp in council-owned properties cross the UK. I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.I would be grateful if you could provide answers to the following questions regarding all council-owned properties, both commercial and residential, over the last ten years:1) How many properties have been diagnosed with rising damp.2) How many properties has the council instructed a contractor to install an injected chemical damp proof course.1.3) Of these properties, how many have had a re-occurrence of damp, whereby the council has made an application under the installers guarantee.2.4) How many claims under the guarantee were successful and how many were unsuccessful.
