Condensation Professional
Condensation Specialists South England Condensation is a major problem for the
majority of homes around the UK. If your home is not ventilated
properly and efficiently then you are likely to experience
condensation dampness in your walls. Once condensation has set in you
will have stained and discoloured wall paper which will lead to mould
growth and damages. This can also lead to clothes, wallpapers, window
frames, furniture and any surface that is cold for a long period of
time.
It is important to deal with
condensation as soon as possible as the mould spores can get into the
air supply and cause damage to your health. If the temperature of the
air is high it has the ability to hold more moisture leading to a
higher chance of condensation occurring. The moisture droplets occur
when the surface it comes into contact with is cooler meaning it can
no longer hold it in the air.
The most common areas for condensation
to occur is in rooms where a large amount of moisture is produced
anyway usually bathrooms and kitchens. Quite often the water in the
air soaks into the walls but in some cases you can see the droplets
on the surface. The areas where condensation is most seen is:
There are simple solutions to dealing
with condensation. Our team work with you to go through the right
procedures to make sure that you can get rid of the condensation and
make sure it never occurs again. You can follow simple steps to make
sure you are not creating extra moisture in the air.
These are:
Keeping lids on pans when cooking
Tumble driers should have a vent
outside
Avoid using bottled gas and
paraffin heaters
Only dry washing outside if
possible
Another simple step is to open windows
when using the kitchen and bathroom so the moisture can escape
through the window instead of hovering in the air in the room. The
increased ventilation is a great idea for decreasing the moisture in
the air and is the main reason why houses are being built with
ventilation systems already installed that are either trickle
ventilators or extractor fans.
Your heating can often become a problem
for condensation because if you are not warming your home enough then
you are creating cold surfaces for the moisture to settle on with
ease. We advise keeping the room temperature to at least 15 degrees
to avoid condensation occurring in common areas. You can also get
installation extras that will keep the surfaces warm so that you
don�t need to heat them as much as you normally would. This can
save you money for repairs in the long run as you will not have a
problem with condensation.
