Keeping your home free from condensation & mould growth

 

Paper dropping from a wall due to condensation and mouldCondensation 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.
