Moisture and where it starts
We live in a country with unpredictable and changing weather patterns, so it is no surprise that so many of our properties experience damp problems, which lead to expensive repairs. We have learnt to take wet weather for granted. So, while we can throw on a coat or put up an umbrella when the rain comes down, our homes cannot do that and are exposed to the elements.
Moisture in brickwork is the worst possible ingredient to have in your property, and every effort should be made to prevent the ingress of moisture. Moisture in brickwork is responsible for damp, mould, condensation, health issues, dry and wet rot and even severe energy losses.
There are different types of damp, moisture and condensation issues that may be affecting your property. It is of paramount importance to get to the root of the problem and not just throw on a lick of paint to hide the ugly damp patch growing more extensive in the corner. Understanding moisture in the building fabric is a vast subject and key to the correct diagnosis. It is so imperative to understand how occupancy, ventilation, insulation, heating, materials and maintenance can all contribute to the moisture issue.
