Rising Damp
In our wet climate, it's no surprise that so many properties of all ages and types suffer from damp. It's the problem we see most frequently, as damp-proofing specialists in Perth, Dundee and Fife. Damp has three main causes: penetrating damp, rising damp and condensation. But no matter what's causing damp in your property, it's not good for your health, or the health of your property. Damp can lead to damage to the interior and exterior of your home, with sagging ceilings and ugly marks on the walls common. Damp homes are more expensive to heat and might also smell bad. Dampness can also make it difficult for people with asthma to breathe, and can contribute to health problems for others.
