💧 Damp patch? Mould around the window? Paint starting to bubble? Don’t just paint over it!
Moisture problems often start small, but if the cause isn’t dealt with, they can lead to damp, mould, damaged plaster, peeling paint and more expensive repairs.
So how can you help protect your home?
🌬️ Ventilate properly — cooking, showering and drying clothes indoors all add moisture to the air.
🌧️ Check outside your property — blocked gutters, leaking downpipes, damaged roof areas, cracked pointing and failed window or door seals can allow rainwater in.
🔍 Watch for the early warning signs — damp patches, black mould, bubbling paint, musty smells and excessive window condensation are all worth investigating.
The important thing is to find the source of the moisture, rather than simply covering up the visible damage. 🏠
