The Common Causes of Damp

Identifying the cause of dampness is the first step towards rectifying it. Here are the common culprits:

Rising Damp

This occurs when groundwater rises up through capillaries in brickwork and mortar. Typically found in older buildings without an adequate damp-proof course (DPC), rising damp can lead to peeling paint, rotten timber, and mould growth.

Penetrating Damp

Also known as lateral damp, this occurs when water penetrates through walls due to issues such as faulty guttering, poor pointing, or porous walls. Over time, this can weaken the structural integrity of your property.

Condensation

The most common type of damp, condensation is usually caused by a lack of ventilation and heating. It’s often identified by misty windows, mould growth, and musty smells.
