There is moisture in every house, especially in places that are not visited much. This could be the garage, basement, shed, meter cupboard or even a boat or caravan. In general, places with little to no ventilation and that are out of sight pose a high risk for the development of mould. But even places that are in our daily sight, such as the living room, kitchen, hall, toilet and bedrooms can be prone to moisture issues.
Therefore, prevent moisture before it becomes a problem!
Moisture enters the home in different ways. We produce moisture ourselves through the daily things we do, such as breathing (of humans and pets), sleeping, cooking, showering, washing dishes, watering plants, etc.
Moisture can also come from the outside or from the inside, such as condensation, leaks, defects in building constructions, penetrating moisture, ageing, poor workmanship or when the wrong materials have been used.
The excess moisture we produce can accumulate and cause relatively high humidity. This brings all kinds of inconveniences.
How do you recognize a humid living environment?
Because we insulate our houses better and better and ventilate too little, the moisture balance is disturbed.
When moisture problems arise from the inside, due to water vapour, you can easily do a combination of things yourself to improve the moisture balance in your home.
Mould develops when the moisture in the air can no longer find a way out. A common problem, unfortunately, in places where it is humid and hot, in the bathroom for example.
As soon as the first traces of mould become visible, they often spread very quickly. And that's bad news for your home and your health. The spores produced by the fungi can cause skin irritations and other physical complaints. Therefore, ensure effective control of mould growth and prevent mould from (re)developing.
Don't give fungi a chance!
