Dampness is a common issue that plagues many properties, often unnoticed until it causes significant damage. From peeling paint, failed plasterwork to mould growth and structural deterioration, the repercussions of unchecked damp can be severe for both the structure and the occupants health. Identifying the root cause of dampness is crucial for effective mitigation and prevention.
Causes:
Damp can come from a number of places, whether external or internal. External factors such as weather, storm damage or flooding have a rapid effect and are easily detectable. Other issues such as non breathable materials, poor workmanship may take years or decades to manifest themselves. Ground problems, drainage issues vegetation also have hidden impacts particularly on older properties.
