Condensation control services in Henley-on-Thames

Condensation occurs when there is too much moisture in the air. When the air reaches saturation point, this moisture will settle on surfaces, usually your windows and walls. In a properly functioning home, your walls will breathe naturally, allowing moisture to escape and letting fresh air in. When these mechanisms are blocked or ineffective, you might find yourself facing a condensation problem. Condensation problems can also indicate a more serious structural issue.

A common issue we often see alongside a condensation problem would be mould and mildew growth. This can be particularly problematic if residents are sensitive to mould, as this can trigger breathing problems and skin or eye irritation. Homes with high humidity levels can also face higher energy costs, as it takes much more energy to raise the temperature of a damp home. So while your energy costs might be increasing, overall comfort levels in your home will decline with a condensation problem.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

Seasonal changes can make a condensation issue less severe in the summer and more pronounced in the colder months, which can make it difficult to know if you have a condensation issue that needs an expert intervention. These are some of the signs you should look out for:

  • Excessive moisture on windows and walls
  • Peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork
  • Mould and mildew patches throughout your home
  • Rising energy bills and a decline in comfort levels

If you’ve spotted these signs in your home, it’s best to get a second opinion. If the issue is caused by something more serious, you’ll be grateful for a swift intervention.

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Henley-on-Thames

When there is condensation in the home it either means that there is a moisture ingress problem and this is overwhelming the ventilation systems, or the ventilation systems are failing. Our first step would be to rule out a more serious structural issue like rising damp. Once we have confirmed that there isn’t an underlying damp problem, we can safely assume that the ventilation in your home is failing. If the problem is rising damp or a concealed leak, we can also provide support in putting this right.

There are many ways to help a home to breathe, including using the correct rending and plaster, making use of ventilation bricks and using trickle vents effectively. In the pursuit of improved insulation, ventilation methods can become blocked or ineffective, so the first step would be to restore these without making your home feel draughty. We can then look at addressing problem areas, such as adding extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen, and using a dehumidifier when you dry washing indoors.
