Dampness is usually detected at a late stage. The presence of too much moisture usually causes problems in your home. Therefore, don't put off the repair work because if you have the damp muddle along then it will only go from bad to worse and could cost you many euros.
Depending on the type of dampness, it will have to be fought differently.
We distinguish 3 types:
- Damp interior walls
Moisture nuisance through internal walls, for example, is caused by penetrating moisture moving through the external wall, rising damp coming from the ground, or a broken pipe. The damp interior walls in turn cause loose plaster, peeling paint and mould which in turn cause health problems. - Penetrating moisture
Pervasive damp is caused by damage to exterior walls and is thus common in old houses. Climbing, impacts and cracking cause damage to exterior walls. Permeable moisture is caused by snow, rain and hail. - Condensation moisture is created by the air around us always containing a certain amount of water vapour. If this has nowhere to go, moisture will be caused. Therefore, ventilating different rooms is very important.
So moisture control is specialist work and will only worsen if you put it off. Walls, for example, will get colder and only attract more moisture, rising damp will not disappear on its own and condensation is everywhere.
