Frequently asked questions
Common questions about damp, condensation, mould and treatment.
What causes damp patches on walls?
Damp patches can result from condensation, rainwater penetration, plumbing leaks or moisture rising through masonry. Their location and pattern can offer clues, but an assessment is often needed to establish the cause.
How can I tell rising damp from condensation?
Condensation often appears on cold surfaces and around windows, particularly in humid rooms. Rising damp may show low-level staining and salts. These signs overlap with other issues, so diagnosis should not rely on appearance alone.
Why does black mould appear?
Mould can grow where surfaces stay damp. Common contributors include condensation, inadequate ventilation, water leaks and building defects. Addressing the source of moisture is key to reducing recurrence.
How much does a damp survey cost?
Our damp assessments and quotations are free. Contact Dry Core Solutions to discuss your concerns and arrange your free assessment and no-obligation quotation.
Can mould return after treatment?
Yes. Cleaning or fogging alone cannot prevent mould from returning if excess moisture remains. The underlying damp or humidity problem should be addressed.
Do I need a new damp-proof course?
Not necessarily. Some symptoms attributed to rising damp are caused by leaks, condensation or external defects. A suitable assessment helps determine whether damp-proof course work is justified.
WHY DRY CORE SOLUTIONS?
