Keeping your home free from condensation & mould
growth
Condensation is damp that
comes from extra moisture in the air. It happens in all homes but,
if left unchecked, it can become a serious problem.
There's always some moisture in the air even
if you cannot see it. Lots of extra moisture is created by everyday
activities such as cooking, washing clothes and bathing.
Condensation often happens because steam from kitchens and
bathrooms circulates into colder areas such as bedrooms.
Causes of condensation
How much condensation occurs in your
home depends on four main things:
- How much moisture is generated within your
home
- The amount of ventilation
- How well your home is insulated
- The temperature of your home
All these factors need to be looked at to cure
a condensation problem.
