Quick-fire Q&A with Our Damp Experts in Dorset

Category: DampGeneral

As local damp experts in Poole and Bournemouth, we get asked all sorts of questions about damp treatment and mould. Here we answer some of the most common ones.

Why is there damp in my house?

This question is difficult to answer without having further details of your damp problem; we would ideally perform a thorough damp survey of the property in question before giving you a detailed answer.


This is because damp can manifest in different ways and for a variety of reasons, some of the most common causes being condensation, pipe leaks or a failed damp proof course. Upon completion of a damp survey, we will create a detailed report for you that fully describes your damp problem alongside our suggestion on how to treat it.

How much does damp proofing cost?

As every damp problem is different, it is difficult to give an accurate cost for damp treatment work. Once it has been established what type of damp problem is affecting your home, it will be much easier for us to give you a price.

Is your damp proofing work guaranteed?

Is damp bad for my health?

In short, yes – according to the NHS and many other well-respected health advisory bodies, the presence of mould as a result of damp can increase your chances of suffering with a respiratory problem, can negatively affect your immune system and spark an allergic reaction.


Especially if you live with young children, someone with a condition such as eczema or asthma, or elderly relatives, then ridding your home of damp is one of the best things you can do to ensure their good health.


Whatever problem with damp you are experiencing in Dorset, our team of damp specialists are here to help with cost-effective damp proofing solutions. Contact us today to talk to book a damp survey today on 01202 737739.
