What is damp?
Damp is generally defined as unwanted water or at least, moisture, in quantities that are unsightly or likely to cause deterioration in the fabric or furnishings of a building. If your home has penetrating damp, this could be for a variety of reasons, however one thing I can assure you of: It must be sorted quickly and professionally, or the problem will get worse, and usually, more expensive! Penetrating damp can also make your house smell musty, and can also cause health problems, especially with people such as asthmatics, or people with other breathing conditions. It can also make the house feel much colder than it really is, and can make your heating bills more expensive!
