Cellar dampness is a significant concern for homeowners, often leading to serious structural and health issues if left unaddressed. This type of dampness can arise from various sources, primarily due to inadequate waterproofing, high groundwater levels, or poor drainage systems. External factors such as heavy rainfall or flooding can exacerbate the situation, causing moisture to seep into your cellar and creating an environment prone to mold and decay.
Unlike other types of dampness, cellar dampness is typically the result of water infiltration from outside the property rather than moisture rising from the ground. When rainwater or groundwater finds its way into your cellar through cracks in the walls, faulty drainage, or insufficient waterproofing, it can lead to a range of problems. Over time, untreated cellar dampness can result in mold growth, unpleasant odors, peeling paint, and compromised structural integrity, posing risks to both your home and your health.
