Condensation control services in Kingston-upon-Thames

Condensation occurs when there is excess moisture in the home, either because of a moisture ingress issue, or because the moist air is becoming trapped by the structure. Buildings are designed to breathe to allow moisture out and fresh air in, but there are lots of reasons these measures might be missing or failing. When the air inside your home reaches saturation point, the moisture will settle on the coolest surfaces, usually windows and exterior walls.

As this moisture settles on surfaces, it provides the ideal conditions for mould and mildew to thrive. It can also lead to higher energy bills, as a damp home is much more difficult to keep warm. Finally, condensation issues could also point to an underlying damp problem, which can lead to widespread structural issues if ignored. To protect your home and your investment from moisture damage, always address a condensation problem at the first signs of trouble.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

A little bit of moisture in your home while you are cooking or after a hot shower is normal, so how do you know when this tips over into being problematic? These are some of the first signs that your condensation is out of control:

  • Moisture build up on windows and walls that feel damp
  • Mould and mildew patches on the walls, ceiling or on furniture
  • Peeling wallpaper and blistered paintwork
  • Higher energy bills with a decline in comfort levels

If you’ve noticed a combination of these issues, it’s important to take action to prevent further damage. Contact Tapco Homedry to start the process and arrange a home survey.

We can help tackle condensation problems in Kingston-upon-Thames

When there is a condensation problem, it is vital to first check if the underlying issue is related to rising or penetrating damp. Dampness in the home can lead to higher moisture levels, and this needs to be addressed before we can look at the condensation issue. Once we have ruled out a more serious issue, we can look for ways to improve ventilation in your home. 

This could include adding extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms to help vent moist air out of your home. We can also look at moisture traps and dehumidifiers to help tackle excess moisture. Drainage around your home could also be an issue that needs to be looked at, or we might need to explore permeable rendering that will allow your home to breathe again. There are also lots of small changes you can make to your daily routine that will have a big impact on condensation.
