Does YOUR damp PROBLEM
look like this?
Condensation (high humidity) is one of the most common forms of damp. It can cause a musty smell, excess moisture on windows and black mould on walls and/or ceilings.
High humidity can be relatively easy and economical to fix – and involves finding an ideal balance of heating and ventilation.
Rising Damp can be a sign that your home's existing damp proof course is damaged or may be missing altogether.
Some of the signs of rising damp include decayed skirting boards and timber floors. Plaster may be crumbling, discoloured and stained. Or you may have paint and wallpaper peeling off the walls.
Penetrating damp can be caused when rainwater enters the fabric of a building and starts to create unwanted damage.
Common signs to look out for include cracked rendering, crumbled roof pointing, faulty lead work and general wear and tear on the outside of your property.

HOW TO TREAT DAMP
Some people panic and book a free survey. But every property has a degree of damp that can be picked up by a moisture meter. It's important to pinpoint the type of damp you're dealing with first. A specialist damp survey will do this for you – and it could save you time and money in the long run.
