Some of the common defects and misnomers affecting buildings
The following pages reflect common phrases used to identify defects in buildings. These are simplified, not because you, as a householder, are considered unable to understand the true and various causes, but because they are promulgated by the damp industry who has dumbed-down the often complex defects so they can provide equally dumbed-down solutions like Rising damp - chemical injection or Penetrating damp - Waterproof membrane.
