As we bid farewell to April showers and welcome the blossoms of May, it’s crucial to address a less appealing aspect of this transitional period: damp. Historically, May marks the peak season for reported cases of damp, especially in properties nestled in Medway and its surrounding areas. At Rochester Building and Damp, we understand the significance of tackling damp issues head-on, particularly as we enter this damp-prone month.
Damp manifestations often rear their unwelcome heads in the form of visible wet patches on internal wall surfaces. These patches, accompanied by the ominous presence of black mould, signify more than just a cosmetic concern. The mould, known as ‘Stachybotrys Growth,’ isn’t merely an unsightly nuisance; it’s classified as a Type 1 Category Pollutant and deemed hazardous to health.
For homeowners and property managers, the sight of damp patches and black mould can be distressing. Beyond compromising the aesthetic appeal of a property, these issues pose significant health risks to occupants. From respiratory problems to exacerbating allergies, the consequences of prolonged exposure to damp and mould are far-reaching and potentially severe.
