Spotting the early signs of damp can be the best way to prevent it getting worse. Spotting damp is easy. Here is a little guide on how you can spot damp forming in your home:
This forms when there isn’t enough ventilation in your property. You may notice droplets forming on your ceilings in bedrooms or hallways. This condensation can then lead to mould and mildew forming in those areas.
You may be able to smell damp before you see it. High humidity can cause damp in places you may not be able to see, such as behind furniture. You may start to smell a musty, damp, or stale smell in certain rooms.
When mould starts to form on your walls or ceilings, you may start noticing black spots appearing, which over time will get worse. Check behind furniture or corners of ceilings.
If your wallpaper is starting to bubble or flake away, this could be a sign that moisture is forming under it. Plaster may also start to deteriorate as moisture builds up.
Feel if your walls are damp. Condensation will form on walls as it hits the cooler surface, this may also not be that easy to see, so feeling your walls are a good way to see if this is happening.
External factors can cause internal issues. If you have a leaking gutter, water leak or cracks in your masonry, these issues will start to affect the inside of your property. Check your brickwork for stains, mould or algae, as well as broken bricks and cracks.
