Throughout October 2024, we are conducting a survey on Damp and Mould to help identify any issues in our properties . We invite Woven tenants to read this article and then complete the short survey below.
All homes are at risk of condensation, particularly in winter. Condensation in small amounts is not usually a problem, and there are things you can do to help prevent it. For more information and helpful tips, read our Condensation leaflet HERE.
MOULD: Too much condensation in your home can lead to problems such as mould growth. Mould growth can affect your health and the health of your home.
RISING DAMP: Rising damp is caused by water in the soil moving up through a wall and only affects ground floor rooms or basements. It isn’t very common and is usually prevented by a barrier called a damp-proof course. Rising damp can occur if the damp-proof course in your home is either missing or damaged. Signs of rising damp include damaged skirting boards and floorboards, crumbling or salt stained plaster, and peeling paint or wallpaper. It often has the appearance of a tide mark running along the bottom of a wall.
