Damp is a very common problem that most properties across the UK will suffer from at some stage. If untreated, damp can be extremely damaging to the structure of your home. Damp is caused by excess moisture that isn’t able to escape from your home. Rising damp is a common issue in many homes since condensation is able to rise through brick & mortar. Moisture is then allowed to settle into various materials. This damp if left, will damage your health as damp can lead to mould. Mould spores are very harmful to people so it’s important to remove any type of mould from your home.

If nothing is done to eliminate damp then it can cause huge problems for not only your home but your health too. Damp is a natural inhibitor of mould, allowing it to spread across your home. Mould releases airborne spores that end up being inhaled. These spores are small enough to be passed through our lungs which can cause huge health problems. Over 42% of all asthma sufferers can be attributed to mould.
