💧 Did You Know There Are 4 Main Types of Damp? 💧
Not all damp problems are the same.
Identifying the cause is the first step towards finding the right solution.
The 4 main types of damp are:
🏠 Penetrating Damp – Caused by water entering from outside through damaged roofs, walls, gutters, or brickwork.
💨 Condensation – Forms when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces, often leading to mould growth.
⬆️ Rising Damp – Ground moisture rises through walls due to a failed or missing damp-proof course.
🔧 Traumatic/Defective Plumbing Damp – Caused by leaking pipes, faulty plumbing, overflowing tanks, or damaged drainage systems.
Each type of damp requires a different treatment, so a professional diagnosis is essential.
