IDENTIFY AND PREVENT MOISTURE PROBLEMS

The surplus moisture we produce can build up and cause a relatively high level of humidity in the air. This can bring with it all sorts of problems.

How do you identify a humid environment?

•  Everybody has steamed up windows sometimes, e.g. when there's a lot of visitors in the house, or in the kitchen when cooking. If the windows remain steamed up over longer periods or even permanently, then there is too much humidity in the air.
• Mould and damp patches also indicate high levels of humidity. Damp patches remain visible even once they have dried out. Mould deposits black spots and makes the air smell damp and stale.
• Moisture attracts insects such as wood lice and silver fish.
• Wallpaper can become detached or bubble up because of an excess of moisture.
• Moisture is a feeding ground for bacteria that can cause allergies.

In order to prevent such problems occurring,  it is important that the house maintains an optimal balance of humidity.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT PROBLEMS WITH MOISTURE ARISING?

There can be too much moisture if your house suffers from problems such as leakages, rising ground water, rain penetration or poor design. These problems must be properly repaired. You can do it yourself if you're an experienced handyman, or you can have it done by specialist tradesman.

Better insulation of our houses has led to poorer levels of ventilation, which in turn upsets the humidity balance. When problems occur from the inside because of water vapour, you can easily do a combination of things to improve the humidity balance.
