Damp & home insurance

I need to get a damp problem sorted in two rooms. Is it something that would be covered on the buildings insurance or contents insurance.
If i could i would, but i cannot so i wont, but maybe one day i will.

    What's the cause?

    How long has it been going on?

    I wouldn't think so as this would be a Buildings/Maintenance issue. But if caused by a third party, they may pursue a claim. Why not ask them?

    Unless the cause can be directly related to a specific peril mentioned in the policy then there will be no cover. Most policies specifically exclude a 'gradually operating cause'.
