KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
Decking problems, penetrating damp and condensation are the three most common types of damp found in residential properties. Properties built after 1920 will be constructed with a damp proof foundation and cavity wall insulation.
Condensation is the most common form of humidity. It is caused by the condensation of warm, humid air on cold walls, especially in rooms that naturally generate a lot of humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Penetrating damp is caused by water seeping through walls. This type of moisture can travel down your walls or ceiling, but will move horizontally rather than up the walls.
BEST MOMENTS
“You need to find someone knowledgeable and qualified to diagnose your damp problems, otherwise you risk spending more than necessary to find a solution.”
“There are no fixed costs for wet work. It all depends on the individual work and the company.
“Try to avoid purchasing a dehumidifier with today’s cost of energy.”
