Damp occurs due to excess moisture from leaks, poor ventilation, or rising damp. It leads to mold growth, causing damage to walls, ceilings, and health risks like respiratory issues.

Risk Factors and Impacts:

1.Structural damage (leaks, rising damp)

2.Poor ventilation

3.High humidity levels

4.Cold surfaces (condensation-prone areas)

5.Respiratory issues (asthma, allergies)

6.Skin irritation

7.Weakened immunity, especially in vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions.
