What Causes Damp? (How to Avoid Damp and Fix Issues) 

What causes damp? And how do you prevent damp? How do you know if you have condensation, rising damp or water ingress from a leak or heavy rainfall?
Getting to the bottom of your damp problems can be complicated. Finding the exact cause of the damp can be a tricky, fact finding process of elimination.
This property in Stoke-on-Trent is suffering from several damp problems. There is black mould on the walls and the wallpaper is coming away in places - both of which can be telltale signs of condensation and an underlying damp problem.
Not only that, the kitchen floor (which, incidentally, is lower than outside floor level) floods when it rains.
But what's causing these damp problems? Could it be a roof leak? Could it be water ingress from a gutter leak? Could the gutter be inadequate? Are the grids blocked? How is water finding its way into the kitchen? The landlord of the property asked us to take a look after several incorrect diagnoses that led to money being spent unnecessarily.
And if you're a landlord, spending money unnecessarily can have a BIG impact on your profit margin and Return on Investment (ROI).
In this video, BIG John takes a good look at where the water is entering the property and why. He shows you how to avoid damp issues and how you can easily fix them.
John's damp detective work attracted the attention of both the local and national press.
The story appeared in several papers such as The Sun: www.thesun.co....
…and the Mirror: www.mirror.co....
This is another good reason you need a good builder to identify the source of your property issues and show you EXACTLY what you need to do to put them right.
When it comes to property, everyone needs a BIG John 😄👌
