No I don`t have damp do I ? :
Who would believe your property and your health can suffer from damp in
a lovely sunny climate. But it is an all too common problem that is
related to how developers build and the general weather conditions,
including earthquakes, whether in Cyprus, Greece, Crete,
all very sunny climates but creating exterior water damage; interior damp
health hazard conditions.
Is your property and your health at risk ? : Just look around
your property and in your local area properties and you can see the discolouration on the structure of the
building exteriors, salt marks, chipping and flaking paint, crumbling
cement, all which is often caused by a property not having a damp proof
course installed at the initial build. The damp cannot be painted over to conceal it. This
only acts as a temporary cosmetic measure and the damp will return, spreading
even wider and only get worse for each year you leave to the elements of
water ingress which will create more
damp !
Is Damp a very common problem ? : In Cyprus, Crete, Greece and
Italy, almost all properties have this problem, some more than others,
but as some builders do not insert a physical damp proof course when the
property is built, the problem will surface at some stage. The damp
rising from the foundations affects the lower columns, constructed from
reinforced steel and concrete. The moisture causes the steel to corrode
and swell, creating cracks which keep appearing and ever increasing on
the exterior. The interior plaster, which feeds from moisture, can make
it very damp, cold and major fungicide problems will occur.
How can Damp be treated ? : The source and cause of rising damp must be
found, then treated properly with the correct damp proofing chemicals to get rid of the problem for good. Left to
continue, damp and water ingress will create human health problems such
as asthma, bronchitis and continuous cold systems, as well as your
greatest asset, your dream home in the sun also suffering.
The tales and stories of people suffering health related illnesses due to damp in
their property are too frequent and too many to tell but there is good
