How best to deal with damp problems
So many homes are affected by damp, but what actually causes this damp? Lets say that one day you find a damp related problem in your home, such as mould growth, you then look to approach different contractors and ask if they can help to fix this problem. Each of these various contractors will obviously look to promote the type of service they generally provide. Let’s be fair to the salesperson visiting you to assess and advise about the problems you are hoping to deal with, why would they suggest you carrying out work they can’t actually offer to do for you? After 5 contractors have given 5 different opinions, the property owner is rarely any further forward.
