Condensation and mould explained
When there are high levels of moisture in a property and it cannot be cleared through ventilation, condensation will occur. There are many reasons you might have high moisture levels in your home, and as many reasons why the ventilation might be lacking. It could be from everyday activities, or it could be due to uneven heating of your home. When moisture settles on colder surfaces, it creates the ideal conditions for mould to thrive.
Mould is not just unpleasant to look at but it also impacts the air quality in your home. As it spreads, it could quickly become a health hazard for residents with breathing difficulties, or the very young and the elderly. High moisture levels in your home will also cause energy bills to increase, as a damp home is much more difficult to keep warm. Finally, there is also cosmetic damage to your decor as a result of excess moisture. Left untreated, condensation from water ingress could become a structural problem.
Experts in condensation surveys in Essex
Homeowners can protect themselves by learning how to spot the signs of excess moisture and condensation in their homes. By taking action quickly, it’s often possible to avoid some of the more severe outcomes. Common signs of condensation include:
- Water drops on windows
- Pooling water on the window sill
- Damp patches on walls
- Fogged windows
- Musty smells and poor indoor air quality
- Black mould growth and mildew
At the first sign of these issues, it’s vital to call in the experts to get to the heart of the issue. We’ll start with a comprehensive survey to better understand the cause of the moisture problem. This will help us to determine if the issue is caused by a water ingress problem.
Faulty foundations, leaking pipes and cracked roof tiles could all lead to excess moisture getting trapped in your home. This is often seen alongside poor ventilation, which traps moisture in the home. Through damp proofing, improved ventilation and education, you can achieve a dry home with improved interior air quality.

We can help you to see how everyday activities can contribute to excess moisture in the home, including poor ventilation in bathrooms due to not using extraction fans. Another common cause is drying clothing indoors, or the use of a tumble dryer without the correct moisture collection.
