There are many construction techniques that prevent damp. The excuses given by developers, claiming that it is the owner&#8217;s fault for not ventilating enough, are not acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Can I claim for this damp?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                If it is a new-build home, yes. You must be within the 3-year guarantee period under article 17.1.b) of the LOE to claim against the parties involved in the construction who are responsible, or you can bring a claim for contractual liability against the seller within 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size: large;\">Do repairs by <\/span><em style=\"font-size: large;\">Murprotec<\/em><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> or other specialist firms work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            It depends on the case. Sometimes they work well, but in other cases they do not and the damp comes back.
