Get rid of damp and mould for good!
Damp is a common problem in UK homes, especially during the colder months. There’s nothing quite as awful as that musty smell or mouldy walls. It’s not great for your health either as it can cause respiratory problems. It can also damage your furniture, curtains, clothes and books. It’s important to deal with damp and condensation the moment you spot it.
In many cases, it’s something that you can sort without the professionals.
What the heck causes damp and mould?
It’s simple – damp and mould are caused by excess moisture in the home. The chilly weather doesn’t help as when the temperature falls, condensation rises. Moisture on the windows each morning left untreated can soon lead to mould growth.
Blocked gutters, poorly ventilated bathrooms and kitchens, leaking windows or missing roof tiles can also be the cause of damp.
How to identify a damp problem
Take a long, hard look at your walls and ceilings. If you see any brown patches or black speckled marks on the walls or wallpaper then this can indicate damp or mould. Condensation on the windows can also indicate high levels of moisture in the home. A big giveaway is a musty, damp smell too.
