Spot the signs early of damp and mould in your home.
Helping our customers get to the root of their moisture problems is our very own Detective Damp.
We understand that there are a variety of things that can lead to damp and mould appearing in your home. A leaking gutter, poor heating, clogged extractor fans or reduced ventilation can all lead to mould and damp appearing in your home.
Any of these things can lead to a build-up of moisture in your property, which leads to condensation.
Reducing condensation in your home helps to prevent damp and mould from occurring. Everyday jobs around the house like washing and drying clothes, cooking, and bathing all release moisture into the air, and it’s when this moisture settles on a cold surface, such as a wall or window, that condensation is created. If this continues for a long period of time it will eventually cause damp, and mould will begin to grow.
