What Causes Rising Damp #shorts



Published
Damp Sam discusses the recent Which article covering the kind of damp that could be affecting your home. Listen in and discover the three most common types of damp for residential properties, how you can fix some damp-proofing issues yourself and the symptoms you need to look out for to stop damp forming.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Bridging issues, penetrating damp and condensation are the three most common types of dampness found in residential properties. Properties built after 1920 will be constructed with a damp-proof course and cavity wall insulation.

Condensation is the most common kind of damp. It is caused by moist warm air condensing on cool walls, particularly in rooms that naturally generate a lot of air moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Penetrating damp is caused by water leaking through walls. This type of damp may expand across your walls or ceiling but will move horizontally, rather than by travelling up walls.

BEST MOMENTS

“You need to find someone that is competent and qualified to diagnose your damp issues otherwise you may end up spending more than you need to in order to find a solution.”

“There’s no set costs for damp work. It is all based on the individual job and company.”

“Try to avoid purchasing a dehumidifier with the current cost of energy.”
