Condensation occurs when humidity inside your home gets too high. This can either be the result of poor ventilation, or it could indicate an underlying issue with moisture getting into your home. As the air becomes saturated with moisture, it eventually has to settle on surfaces, and this will usually be the coldest parts of your home; typically windows and external walls. If this happens once or twice, it generally isn’t an issue, but if the problem is persistent, this can lead to unpleasant conditions in your home.
Moisture provides the perfect conditions for mould and mildew patches to thrive and spread, which will not only look unsightly, but can also damage your decor, furniture and possessions. Some people are sensitive to mould and will experience breathing problems or skin problems. Another issue with condensation is that it can make it more difficult and more expensive to heat your home. So you might notice your energy bills are rising while comfort levels are lower than ever.
Common signs you have a condensation problem
It can be difficult to tell if your condensation problem is normal or if it’s cause for concern, particularly if you have been living with the issue for quite some time. Here are some telltale signs that you need to take action:
- There is excess moisture buildup on your windows and walls
- Wallpaper is soft and peeling and paintwork is flaking
- Your energy bills are on the rise but your home remains cold
- There are mould and mildew patches on the walls and ceiling
If you’ve spotted any of these issues in your home, it’s time to call in the condensation experts.


We can help tackle your condensation problem in Harpenden
Tackling a condensation problem should always start with getting to the heart of the issue. We start with a home damp survey so we can rule out a more serious problem such as rising damp. If the cause of the issue is not linked to a moisture ingress problem, then we can assume that ventilation is to blame. Improving ventilation in your home can help to ensure moisture no longer builds up and settles on surfaces.
Lots of methods designed to insulate a home and prevent draughts will also block off natural ventilation, so we might look to reverse these in a way that will still keep your home warm. Extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom can be particularly effective in preventing moisture build up. Small changes to how you use your home can also be highly effective, such as using a dehumidifier if you dry your clothing indoors.
