Condensation can be confused with structural damp but is caused by excessive moisture in the atmosphere reacting to a cold surface such as an external wall. Combined with a lack of ventilation the conditions are ideal for the tell-tale black mould growth which can cause serious problems. Damage to furniture, soft furnishings, decorations and clothing can occur and in extreme cases these types of mould can present a health risk, the most common effect being asthma.
Adc-Ltd are suppliers of anti-condensation kits, ideal for a quick low cost treatment which inhibits mould growth.
We can also advise on the installation of drylining, which will provide a warmer wall surface where mould is less likely to grow. It has the added advantage of making the room warmer and costing less to heat.
For stubborn cases, we would recommend the installation of a positive air vent system, ensuring air movement and removal of the damp air from the property.
Please call us for an in-depth discussion about your condensation problems.
