Damp is a common problem in rented properties. The reason being is that often tenants do not understand the damage caused by damp and how expensive it can be to treat it. Rented properties without outdoor space are those most affected, as tenants have no choice but to dry their washing indoors. In the winter months, the stagnant air is compounded by tenants as they do not open the windows to let the moisture out. Overtime this causes mould growth which can lead to health problems such as asthma.

As basements are below ground level they are susceptible to damp as moisture gradually soaks through the walls from the surrounding earth. Basements need to be damp proof in order to create dry, habitable spaces. If your basement is suffering from damp, it may eventually cause problems throughout the rest of your house if left untreated. As the walls of the basement become saturated, the moisture begins to rise up into the connecting walls leading to the main house. In severe cases, damp can ruin the foundations of the building and cause structural damage.
