As well as affecting your home furnishings, damp can affect the fabric of your home and your family's health. In extreme cases, it can cause the wood in your home to suffer from wet rot or even dry rot which can lead to structural failure!

Damp is best dealt with before it causes further problems and while there are many products on the market which claim to cure or prevent moisture problems, they will only be of limited effectiveness unless the underlying problem is fixed.
