Penetrating damp Penetrating damp is caused by water entering your property through walls, roofs or windows. It often results from structural issues or poor maintenance.
Condensation Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces. It can lead to damp patches, mould and poor air quality.
