Signs That Your Property Has a Damp Problem

Damp frequently goes undetected until serious damage occurs. Early detection of warning signs can save thousands in repairs while also reducing health risks associated with mould and decay.

• Black mould around skirting boards, corners, or behind furniture
• Warped woodwork like door frames, floorboards, or window sills
• Cold patches on walls even when heating is on—often a sign of hidden moisture
• Salt staining or powdery residue on interior walls or brickwork
• Musty smells in basements, bedrooms, or poorly ventilated spaces
• Peeling wallpaper, blistered paint, or discoloured plaster

What causes dampness? Know the Signs Before It Spreads.

• Rising Damp: Moisture that rises through porous brickwork due to a failed or missing damp-proof course (DPC).
• Penetrating Damp: Water entering through cracked walls, faulty pointing, or damaged exterior seals, particularly during heavy rain.
• Condensation: Warm, moist air condenses on cold internal surfaces due to poor ventilation or insulation, which is common in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Leaking Plumbing: Slow leaks in pipes or joints hidden in walls or under floors can saturate building materials over time
• Blocked Gutters or Drains: When gutters overflow and there is poor drainage around the property base, moisture accumulates in the lower walls.
• Insulation Gaps: Cold spots form when insulation is missing or improperly installed, creating ideal conditions for condensation and mould.
