Condensation control services in Berkhamsted

Condensation is a common issue in UK homes due to the climate and the construction methods. Our obsession with insulating and preventing draughts will often prevent homes from being able to breathe as they should. Without this natural ventilation, moist air becomes trapped inside and will eventually settle on surfaces once the air reaches saturation point. Damp indoor air also makes it more difficult to heat your home, so your energy bills are likely to increase.

Higher energy bills are not the only issue linked to condensation. The moisture provides the ideal conditions for mould and mildew to thrive, which can become a health hazard for those sensitive to mould spores. This is why it is vital to tackle your condensation issue promptly. With our help, you can take control of condensation in your home and make sure that it doesn’t become a persistent issue. And if there is an underlying structural issue, we can also help you to tackle that.

 

Common signs you have a condensation problem

Not sure if your condensation issue is cause for concern? Look out for the following issues in your home:

  • Excessive moisture build up on windows that takes a long time to clear or needs to be wiped away
  • Higher energy bills coupled with a decline in comfort levels
  • Mould and mildew build up on walls, ceilings and furniture
  • Peeling wallpaper and flaking paintwork

If you’ve spotted any of these signs, it’s time to call in the experts. Contact Tapco Homedry today to arrange your home survey.

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Berkhamsted

Tackling a condensation issue is about more than just addressing the symptoms. We need to understand the underlying cause, which can also help us to rule out more serious structural issues like a rising damp problem. Once we have ruled out a damp problem, we can then identify why your home is allowing moist air to become trapped. This could include looking at construction methods such as the type of plaster used or checking if ventilation methods have been blocked off. Trickle vents and ventilation bricks are commonly blocked to help keep your home warm.

We can also look at ways to remove moist air from the home, such as using extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen. Drying clothing indoors will also contribute to higher moisture levels, so you might need to introduce a dehumidifier unit or switch to a tumble drier. Finally, we can address areas in your home with poor ventilation with products like moisture traps, which are highly effective for preventing the build up of damp in lesser used areas.
