Moisture is a natural element, but when it infiltrates your home, it can lead to various problems, commonly referred to as ‘damp.’ The science behind how moisture affects your home is complex, involving factors like temperature, air flow, and building materials. Damp can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which are harmful to both the structure of your home and your health. It can also cause wood to rot and paint to peel, leading to costly repairs. Understanding the science of damp can help you take proactive measures to prevent it, such as using moisture-resistant materials in construction and ensuring proper ventilation.
