Understanding Damp Problems
Damp can manifest in various forms, each requiring specific treatment:
Rising Damp
Occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through walls due to capillary action. Common signs include:
Tide marks on walls
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Salt deposits
Damp or musty odours
Penetrating Damp
Caused by water ingress through external walls, often due to:
Cracked brickwork or render
Defective pointing
Leaking gutters or downpipes
Condensation
Results from excess moisture in the air condensing on cold surfaces, leading to:
Mould growth
Streaming windows
Damp patches on walls and ceilings
