Plaster and paint deteriorate and wallpaper loosens. Stains from the damp, salts and from mould, marks surfaces. Externally, mortar may crumble and salt stains may appear on the walls. Steel and iron fasteners rust. It may also cause respiratory illness in occupants. In extreme cases, mortar or plaster may fall away from the affected wall.
