Identifying the root cause of dampness is crucial for effective mitigation and prevention.
Causes:
Damp can come from a number of places, whether external or internal. External factors such as weather, storm damage or flooding have a rapid effect and are easily detectable. Other issues such as non breathable materials, poor workmanship may take years or decades to manifest themselves.
