How Does Damp Form?

A main cause of building materials biodegrading is through them being affected by water. They should remain watertight where possible. To find out where there are defects to a building that are causing the access of water into the building should be addressed by a specialist. If damp is left for too long it can cause fungus growth within a building and can have consequences on health.
