RISING DAMP VS CONDENSATION FAQS – COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What areas do you cover?
We diagnose rising damp and condensation issues across Hereford, as well as Ludlow, Worcester, Shrewsbury, Leominster, Kidderminster, Telford and Bridgnorth, including all surrounding towns and villages.
Can condensation be mistaken for rising damp?
Yes. Mould and damp patches are often misdiagnosed as rising damp when condensation is the real cause. A professional inspection is the best way to be sure.
Will ventilation fix rising damp?
No. Ventilation helps condensation but will not stop rising damp, as the moisture is coming from the ground rather than the air.
Do both problems require professional treatment?
Rising damp almost always requires specialist treatment. Condensation may be resolved with ventilation improvements, moisture control or insulation changes, depending on the cause.
Do you offer inspections to identify the cause?
Yes. We offer free initial inspections to determine whether the issue is rising damp, condensation or another moisture problem.
