How do I know which type of damp I have?

Use the location, height, timing and relationship with rain or indoor moisture as clues. A visible patch alone rarely proves one cause.

Should I buy a treatment before finding the cause?

Usually no. DampDeck recommends narrowing the moisture source first so products or professional work match the actual problem.
