Damp questions, answered

Damp types — FAQs

What are the main types of damp?

The three main types are rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Rising damp rises from the ground showing a low tide mark; penetrating damp comes in from outside and worsens after rain; condensation causes black mould and misty windows. Each needs a different treatment, which is why we always diagnose first.

How do I know which type of damp I have?

A free survey with moisture readings is the only reliable way to be sure, because the types look similar but need very different fixes. We identify the true cause and tell you honestly — sometimes there's no major work needed at all.

Do you treat every type of damp?

Yes. We cover rising, penetrating, condensation, wall, ceiling, basement, floor and timber damp, plus wet rot, dry rot and external wall damp across the North East.
