A When you contend "damp from the building", I creed you are referring to perspicacious rainwater or plumbing leaks. These should be easy to diagnose since of their place for example, nearby leaking gutters or feeble hermetic showering trays.

Condensation occurs when wet air generated inside of the home meets cold surfaces. It is thus an event, that can be totalled utilizing instrumentation. Rotronic markets a accessible device called the DampGuard, that can be trustworthy to a wall, and has phony LED "traffic lights" that shift colour when precipitation is occurring.
