Condensation control services in Waltham Abbey

Condensation occurs when moist air gets trapped in your home. As the air becomes humid and saturated, the moisture will eventually begin to settle on cooler surfaces, usually windows and exterior walls. This is often down to poor ventilation, which could be due to lifestyle choices, or it could be a structural issue in your home. Before we can tackle a condensation problem, we first have to learn where the moisture is coming from, and rule out issues such as rising damp.

A condensation problem rarely happens in isolation. It’s more likely that you’ll start to see secondary issues, such as mould and mildew build up on walls and on furniture. You might also notice that energy bills start to spiral out of control, as a humid home is more difficult to heat. Finally, you might also suffer cosmetic damage to your decor due to the high humidity levels in your home. We can help to tackle this with cost-effective and reliable solutions.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

Not sure if you’re looking at a normal amount of condensation, or if it has become problematic? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. You’re going to need to look out for the following telltale signs in your home:

  • Moisture droplets on windows and walls
  • Soft, peeling wallpaper and blistered paintwork
  • Mould and mildew patches on your walls and ceiling
  • Higher energy bills with a decline in overall comfort levels

If you’ve spotted one or more of these issues in your home, we recommend arranging a home survey to help rule out more serious issues like rising damp. Get in touch with the team today to book your survey.

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Waltham Abbey

Before we can intervene in a condensation problem, it’s vital to understand the source of the excess moisture. This will allow us to rule out problems like rising damp, which are considered to be structural issues. If your condensation is linked to poor ventilation, we can explore why this might be the case. Homes are traditionally designed to breathe, but these methods might be blocked or damaged, leaving air to get trapped inside.

Through methods like extractor fans in high humidity areas, dehumidifiers to help capture moisture, and moisture traps in areas with low air flow, we can begin to address the symptoms. Alongside this approach, we can also look at improving airflow with permeable rendering, trickle vents and even improving drainage around your home. There may also be simple lifestyle changes you can make, such as using a tumble drier to dry your clothing indoors, that will have a measurable impact on moisture levels in your home.
