WHAT CAUSES CONDENSATION?

There are many reasons for the mould to appear and infest. During winter, for instance, the air inside the building is usually on the warmer side due to internal heating elements. But when the warm air cools below the dew point and touches chilly surfaces like windows and walls, it leads to the formation of condensation and mould.

Condensation is usually witnessed during winter months and is mostly caused due to:

  • Poor heating
  • Wet clothes hung up to dry
  • Leaking drain or water pipe
  • Roof leak
  • Lack of ventilation while showering or cooking

Maintaining adequate room temperatures and wiping the water droplets at once will minimize mould formation.

Preventing Condensation

Preventing condensation involves proper ventilation and heating of your home, to release moist air from the rooms. Condensation disappears after cold months. Therefore, to avoid condensation issues throughout the winter, it is advised to remain vigilant. Kitchens and bathrooms are more prone to condensation than other rooms in the house. Because dehumidifiers pull in air, chill it, and then reheat it to recirculate, they can help reduce condensation from accumulating in buildings.

How You Can Stop Condensation?

Condensation can be verified by sealing the room with a dehumidifier to run for a recommended time and measuring air humidity and temperature with metres and other instruments. If the humidity goes away, then the problem is condensation. Inadequate air circulation and temperature control can make condensation worse. The symptoms include water droplets on windows and walls with dark mould appearance and an unpleasant odour. Condensation damages paint and plaster with mould patches and decays window frames and skirting boards.
