Lee was very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. He attended our house with a lot of equipment which led to a thorough assessment of the moisture issues in our home. The service was prompt and efficient. He then gave us some free advice as his assessment concluded that no professional intervention was necessary. I Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with any concerns about damp related problems.
