Damp Problems FAQs

how can I fix cold spots on walls?

Cold spots are caused by the act of warm air within the room touching a cold interior wall. In most cases this creates condensation and damp spots which in turn can create other issues of their own, so it’s important to treat your cold spots as soon as you notice them.

The predominate reason that building materials biodegrade is because they are affected by water, known as water ingress. This can lead to serious damp related problems for a property which is why it’s fundamental to the preservation and maintenance of all buildings that they remain as watertight as possible.

Any defect permitting access of moisture into the fabric of a building must be remedied or treated to prevent further entry of water, and the area affected by water dried out. In order to identify defects that can lead to water ingress and to identify areas within the building that are at risk of fungal decay, a detailed inspection should be undertaken by a competent specialist who will carry out an external and internal investigation of the property.
