Wet Climate
The UK experiences high levels of rainfall and humidity, which makes homes more prone to moisture build-up. Persistent rain and cold weather can lead to water seeping into the building structure, especially in older properties with poor waterproofing.
Condensation
Condensation is the most common cause of damp in UK homes. It occurs when warm, moist air from activities like cooking, showering, and drying clothes indoors meets cold surfaces such as windows or walls. This moisture then condenses and can lead to damp patches and mould growth.
Poor Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation means moist air is trapped indoors, making it difficult for the property to dry out. This is particularly a problem in modern homes that are well-insulated but lack adequate airflow. Older homes may also have blocked or inadequate ventilation systems.
Rising Damp
Rising damp happens when moisture from the ground rises through the walls via capillary action. This can occur when the damp-proof course (DPC) in the foundation is damaged or missing, which is often seen in older properties.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp occurs when water seeps through the walls from the outside, often due to damaged roofing, leaking gutters, or cracks in the walls. This type of damp can affect both old and new homes if maintenance is not properly carried out.
Leaking Pipes or Roofs
Plumbing issues, such as leaking pipes, or damaged roofs and gutters, can lead to water seeping into walls and ceilings, creating damp areas. This is often the cause of localised damp patches.
Poor Insulation
Homes with insufficient insulation in the walls, loft, or windows are more susceptible to damp. Cold surfaces attract condensation, and poorly insulated homes struggle to retain heat, increasing the likelihood of moisture build-up.
