Condensation control services in Hitchin

Condensation is a common issue in homes throughout Hitchin and the surrounding areas. It occurs when moisture becomes trapped in the home, leading to high indoor humidity levels. When the air reaches saturation point, the moisture settles on colder surfaces, usually your windows and walls. A home with a condensation problem will often be more difficult to keep warm, as moisture makes a space feel colder. 

Another issue related to condensation is that it can create the ideal conditions for mould and mildew to spread. Condensation problems are often more noticeable in the colder months when you have doors and windows closed and you are more likely to be drying clothing indoors. The seasonal nature of the problem means that you might ignore it and assume that it’s just something you have to deal with in winter, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We can help you to take control of your condensation problem at last.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

Not sure if your condensation levels are normal or if you’re facing a problem? Look out for the following signs in your home, particularly as the weather gets cooler.

  • Excess moisture on windows and walls that feel damp
  • Peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork
  • Mould and mildew patches
  • Higher energy bills coupled with lower comfort levels

If you’ve noticed these signs in your home, it’s important to seek help from a condensation expert. There may be simple but effective ways that we can restore permeability to your home and make you more comfortable again.

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Hitchin

To tackle a condensation problem, we first need to understand the cause. We start with a home survey to rule out anything more serious like a rising damp problem. Once we know that the issue isn’t caused by excess moisture, we can assume that poor ventilation is to blame. Ventilation is often lost when homeowners attempt to insulate their homes and prevent draughts. Ventilation bricks may be blocked and trickle vents may have been painted shut. 

Allowing your home to breathe naturally is the best way to prevent a condensation problem. There are lots of reasons a home can become less permeable, including new rendering, plaster, blocked vents, and missing or faulty extractor fans. Using extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom will help to tackle two problem areas. Simple steps like using a dehumidifier when you dry clothing indoors can also make a huge difference.
