Why is my property damp?
Damp can develop in a property for several different reasons, and identifying the cause is essential before the correct treatment can be applied.
Common Causes of Damp
Common causes include condensation, water ingress from leaks, rising damp from the ground, or poor ventilation within the property. If damp problems are ignored, they can gradually lead to damage to walls, plaster, and timber, and may even affect the structural integrity of the building.
Another serious concern associated with damp is the growth of mould. Mould spores can pose health risks, particularly for people who suffer from asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. In damp environments, mould can spread quickly, affecting indoor air quality and creating an unhealthy living environment.
