Condensation in Homes is a Big Issue - We Can Help

How does it appear?

Moisture builds up from doing everyday things; cooking; showering; drying laundry and even breathing, and it has no way of escaping your home. That is why, when the weather gets colder, condensation is more likely to appear on your windows and in your walls. This is because the moisture in the air is attracted to the coldest point in the house which, in winter and the cooler months, is your windows and walls.

Most people think by opening windows, that will eradicate any problems they are having with condensation, but this is not true.

How does condensation affect your home?

Condensation can affect your home in many ways. It can get into gaps in the wall structure and damage it, therefore over time causing it to deteriorate in quality. Excess moisture in your home can also cause problems with mould and dampness, both of which can affect your home and your health.

Damp and excess moisture in your home can cause windows to rust or rot or plaster to perish. In extreme cases, if left for too long, the moisture can even damage electrics.

How to fix it

There is only one tried and tested way to fix problems with condensation and excess moisture – a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers act as the coolest point in your home, in turn attracting the excess moisture away from windows and walls and to it instead. The moisture then condenses on this cool surface and is collected and stored in a safe container for easy disposal down the sink.
