Condensation

Condensation and Excess Moisture Solutions

Condensation is one of the most common forms of damp in UK homes, particularly in properties that are poorly ventilated, under-heated, or insufficiently insulated.

If left untreated, it can lead to black mould growth, staining, and damage to internal surfaces such as wallpaper, paintwork, ceilings, and window frames.

Our team of expert damp proofing surveyors identify the underlying cause, recommend practical, targeted moisture and ventilation solutions designed to reduce condensation and protect your property.

Is Mould In My Home Caused By Damp?

The development of mould is the most common defect that is associated with condensation, excess moisture, and damp.

Mould growth may appear in different colours i.e. black, white, yellow or green and is dependent on the type of mould and surface upon which it is found.

Black spot mould (Aspergillus niger or Cladosporium spp) forms pyramid profiles in the corners of walls together with the wall/floor and wall/ceiling junctions.

Moulds are hydrophilic fungi which mean they require high levels of surface moisture in order to germinate.

Capillary held dampness such as that which originates for rising damp is not sufficient to cause mould growth.

The presence of mould is usually a clear indicator that there is an atmospheric moisture problem within the property and therefore can prove a useful tool in correctly diagnosing a damp problem.

Biocraft South West is an established damp proofing company, with extensive knowledge in the cause of condensation and the successful control measures proven to eliminate the problem.
