What is Damp:
White salt residue on wall surfaces, paint blistering, decomposition/ breakdown of substrate up to +/- 1.2 m above the ground. Damp can affect any home or office and, with the obvious health and comfort issue, it is always wise to spot any problems early and remedy them quickly.
Bad for your Health
Although most damp problems are much less serious than they actually look, whatever the cause, damp can be very bad for your health. From aggravating respiratory problems to encouraging emergence of mites and mould, the effect of damp can be serious, not to mention making the whole property cold and unappealing.
What causes damp problems
In may cases damp can be unwittingly encouraged due to poor maintenance.There are several cause of damp in the home, but all can be remedied. Damp can be in or around the roof, walls, floors, balcony, windows, doors or pipes on any property. Often, if there is a damp patch visible inside the home, the cause can be identified from any issue on the exterior. |
