Iqbal lives in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, with his wife and three children. The family all suffer from COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and the damp in their home was making their breathing much worse.
Daily Struggles
They couldn’t sleep properly because of the strong damp smell in every room. Iqbal felt embarrassed to have visitors because the walls were wet, the paint was peeling, and black mould was spreading along the skirting boards.
What Needed Fixing
An inspection revealed serious rising damp throughout the property. The only long-term solution was to install a new damp-proof course to stop moisture from seeping through the floors and walls.
The Outcome
Iqbal received over £5,000 in compensation for the suffering, health problems, and inconvenience his family endured. The landlord was also made to carry out the full repairs, ensuring the damp was treated properly so the family could finally live in a safe, healthy home.
