Loss of property value due to humidity

Humidity:
impact on the value of your property

Moisture is an insidious problem that can seriously affect the value of your property. Whether it's a house or an apartment, moisture damage can lead to high repair costs, deterioration of materials, and even a loss of confidence on the part of potential buyers. So it's vital to take preventive and corrective action to preserve the value of your investment.

Moisture, the number one enemy of your property's value

Indeed, moisture-related problems can cause a significant depreciation in the value of your property. Humidity, even in small quantities, can cause serious damage. Its negative impacts are numerous: in particular, it can cause structural damage that has a direct impact on the value of a property. What's more, the financial consequences of moisture-related deterioration, such as renovation or repair costs, weigh heavily. Finally, the mere presence of visible damage reduces the value of the property.

How humidity can reduce the value of your home

Moisture, whether in the form of capillary rise, infiltration or condensation, progressively damages the elements that make up your home, as well as crumbling plaster and tiling. Visible damage, such as stains, mold, saltpetre and swelling of parquet flooring, alerts potential buyers and real estate experts. So the presence of damp represents a high risk of loss of value and difficulties in selling. Without rapid intervention, damp can lead to significant depreciation, reducing a property's market value.

The financial consequences of moisture problems

Damage caused by damp can result in substantial renovation and repair costs. Moisture accelerates the ageing process and can irreversibly damage building materials (wood, concrete, metal). The work involved is often extensive and costly, such as replacing materials affected by damp. And if this is not done, it can affect the quality of life and health of occupants.
