Causes of moist in walls

Moist walls often result from a defective damp-proof course, rising moisture, or penetrating moisture. Leaks or condensation can also contribute to the problem.

Rising moisture occurs when ground moisture seeps into the wall through a missing or damaged water barrier. This not only affects the foundation, but also causes mould and damp patches.

Penetrating moisture, on the other hand, is caused by rainwater that penetrates through porous external walls.

With leaks and condensation moistureoften in poorly ventilated spaces, there's also an increased risk of mould formation. Professional help is essential for complex problems.
