Did you know there are 4 main types of dampness that could affect your home?

These are:

  1. Condensation – Which is the most common cause of dampness experienced in the home
  2. Penetrating Dampness – Usually found on external walls or due to roof leaks on ceilings
  3. Defective Plumbing – Mainly due to leaks from water & waste pipes in kitchens and bathrooms
  4. Rising Damp – Caused by water rising from the ground into the home
    It is important to understand the differences so that you can effectively treat the problem
