The starting point is simple: a damp mark is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Low-level damp may involve rising moisture, but external ground levels, plumbing, cavity bridging and salt-contaminated plaster can produce similar patterns. Mould may be condensation, yet a separate rain defect can exist in the same room.
