It's that time of year again; Winter is gone, the weather is getting milder (mostly), the days are getting longer, the animals (and us) are coming out of hibernation and we're starting to look forward to spending time outdoors again after months of being cooped inside (winter lockdown has been hard!)
Many people will also be feeling the urge to deep clean their houses to prepare their homes for the months ahead. This is good for both your home and your health!
This is the perfect time to take a look around our houses and identify any effects that the cold and wet winter may have had.
Here are a few signs of damp you should look out for;
Musty smell
Staining or dark patches on walls and ceilings
Damaged or rotten skirting boards and other timber
Peeling paint or wallpaper
Bubbling or crumbling plaster
Excessive condensation on windows
Black mould
White salt marks on walls
Damp window frames
Wet walls
Not only are these very unsightly but they can also be very dangerous for your health. As such, signs like these should not be ignored! They are all symptoms of a problem so cleaning the area or painting over it will not resolve the issue. It is important that you locate the source of the problem and fix it!
If you do find any signs of damp, you should consider calling an expert such as Derbyshire Damp Services to identify and resolve the problem quickly and efficiently before it causes further problems.
