Dampness in Dwellings

Causes, Effects and Remedies

About this book

This revised and updated book provides a definition of dampness in each of its forms; it details the various potential sources and causes that can result in damage to the building and damage to the health of the occupiers. It is both practical and provides an outline of the possible solutions, looking at aspects of building design and construction that can reduce or avoid the risk of dampness. It also discusses why dampness is a risk to the health of occupiers and so justifies the need to protect health by reducing or removing it.

This book:

  • Provides a valuable resource for housing, legal, and medical professionals
  • Discusses possible solutions in aspects of building design and construction that can reduce or avoid the risk of dampness and also the safe removal of mould
  • Provides an explanation of the legal framework in the UK and potential legal remedies for adverse health effects as a result of dampness

The new edition of Dampness in Dwellings includes expanded details on the health implications of dampness in the home, legal updates, and new thinking in the wake of the tragic death of Awaab Ishak. It provides a pivotal resource for active professionals in housing, medical, and legal sectors.
