Damp can cause health problems

It has long been known the damp and mould can cause asthma and allergies. Lately scientists have also discovered that damp in the home can lead to insomnia.

For several years Sweden has been part of a large international study where the connection between damp in the home and different kinds of respiratory complaints has been investigated. The latest report shows a definite connection

What causes this state of ill health has yet to be determined. One theory is that damp building materials give off substances which cause the respiratory passages to become irritated. Another possible explanation could be that damp provides ideal conditions for mould and mites to proliferate and cause health problems

Conclusion:
It is important to prevent damp and water damage in all homes. Water leakage must be taken care of as soon as it is discovered
