Damp is a significant problem in many buildings. It causes decay of building fabric and contents, creates unhealthy conditions for occupants and makes buildings more expensive to heat. As the cost of living rises and as we adapt to climate change, we need to reduce energy consumption so dealing correctly with damp in old buildings has never been more important.
