Spot the Signs - Damp and Mould

Friday, 05 January 2024

We live in a country with a cold and wet climate and as a result our homes can suffer the effects of damp or mould.  

If you spot the signs please do let us know at dampmould@msvhousing.co.uk or call us on 0161 226 4211.  

Signs may include: 

  • Condensation - areas of moisture on windows or in places where there is little air, for example in corners or behind beds.
  • Rising damp - often visible at a low level on the ground floor walls or on solid floors. Look out for tidemarks.
  • Mould - black patches in areas where there is little air.
  • Water penetration - around window or door frames or guttering.
  • Leaks - water coming from a burst or cracked pipe or defective seal.
