Condensation is by far the most common cause of dampness in buildings, probably accounting for most of the dampness problems reported. Condensation can affect both old and new properties but would appear to be a significant problem where the building has undergone some form of modernisation – for example the fitting of double glazing.

At Timberwise we are finding more and more misdiagnosis of dampness with  problems being attributed to rising damp rather than to condensation. Of course, after such misdiagnosis , the installation of a damp-proof course and replastering has no effect and the problems the householder is experiencing remain. Therefore, it is essential that dampness problems are correctly diagnosed in the first instance. Incorrect diagnosis can therefore prove to be an inconvenient and costly mistake.
