Damp Proof Cyprus
Damp - Surely not in Cyprus
Who would believe your property and your health can suffer
from damp in this lovely climate? But it is an all too
common problem, related to build and weather conditions in
Cyprus, creating exterior damage and interior damp.
Your property and your health is at risk - just look around
and you can see discolouration on the structure of the
building, salt marks, chipping and flaking paint, which is
often caused by a property not having a damp proof course
installed. The damp cannot be painted over to conceal it -
this only acts as a temporary measure but the damp will
return and spread and only get worse!
Damp is a very common problem in Cyprus. Almost all
properties have this problem, as some builders do not insert
a physical damp proof Cyprus course once the property is built. The
damp rising from the foundations affects the lower columns,
constructed from reinforced steel and concrete. The moisture
causes the steel to corrode and swell, creating cracks which
keep appearing and ever increasing on the exterior. The
interior plaster, which feeds from moisture, can make it
very damp, cold and major problems occur.
Damp must be treated at the source with a damp proof
Cyprus
course to get rid of the problem
for good. Otherwise health problems, such as asthma and
bronchitis, could result from a damp environment.
A manager from the Cyprus Mail newspaper recently went away
for a weekend break, as she had a cold. Unfortunately,
unbeknown to her, she stayed in a damp bedroom, and on her
return was diagnosed at a local clinic with bronchitis.
Ms Barbour of Paralimni, an asthma sufferer, tried
repeatedly to get rid of the damp in her apartment but it
always came back and she suffered so much!
Mrs Murphy of Chloraka, a young mother of two beautiful
children, twins aged 5, was worried about damp. One of the
twins was an asthma sufferer and the child’s small bedroom
was so damp the asthma got steadily worse. Eventually the
family had to move to damp free home, and the child made an
instant recovery.
The tales are too
frequent and too many to tell but there is good news.
