Why do buildings decay?

Primary Focus

Worksheet 2cTD

Maths and our Built Heritage

What is the most common cause of problems in old

buildings?

There are various forms of decay which commonly affect old

buildings. Most of these are caused by dampness. The roof and

walls of a bulding are designed to keep out the rain. Gutters and

rainwater pipes are designed to collect rainwater and channel it

away from buildings.

Capping stones and cills are there to protect the tops of walls and

openings. If any of these items are damaged they do not work

effectively and the building becomes damp.

Damp conditions causes the growth of fungi or the presence of

insects which attack wood. Dampness in buildings can damage

decoration and furniture and make the building an uncomfortable

place to be.
