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.
