Condensation Experts Slough

Looking for a condensation expert in Slough? Trust Tapco HomeDry to help you to tackle your condensation or damp problem. Moisture build up in the home is more than just a cosmetic problem. Left untreated, it could cause damage to decor, possessions and even the structure of your home. With our help, you can find lasting relief from the damage caused by excess condensation in your home.

Condensation and mould explained

When the indoor humidity level is too high, this will cause condensation to form on windows and other cold surfaces. Moisture from warm areas of the home will also move to colder parts of the house, which is a common problem in winter months if you choose to selectively heat your home. Modern properties are designed to deal with moisture, but these methods can fail, be used incorrectly, or they can become overwhelmed.

When moisture is left to build up, this creates the ideal conditions for black mould growth, and this is more than just an eyesore. Black mould will quickly become a health hazard for residents. The very young and the very old are at most risk, but anyone can be affected by breathing problems and skin irritation as a result of black mould. This is why a condensation problem should not be ignored.

Trust the condensation experts in Slough

As a homeowner, one of the best ways you can protect your home from condensation damage is to learn how to recognise when it has become problematic. The following are some common signs that your home has a condensation problem:

  • Water droplets on windows and cold surfaces
  • Misted or fogged windows
  • Poor air quality and musty odours
  • Patches of black mould on walls and ceilings
  • Damage to wallpaper and paint
  • Walls that are cold or wet to touch
  • Rooms that are difficult to keep warm in winter

If you suspect you might be dealing with a condensation problem, we encourage you to get professional help. You might be able to tackle the cosmetic issues, but this won’t help with the underlying issues. With our help, you can enjoy entire-home protection from damp and condensation.

We aren’t just condensation experts; we also specialise in damp proofing and damp treatment, so we can help to address the underlying problems. We’ll help you to get to the heart of the issue and take prompt action to stop further damage.

Condensation removal and remedial work

Properties are built with ventilation in mind, but these measures can become overwhelmed when there is too much moisture. It’s also common for homeowners to accidentally cover essential ventilation sources, or to fail to use methods like extraction fans correctly. For example, switching off your extraction fan after your shower will lead to excess moisture build up. When moisture becomes trapped in your home, it can lead to dampness on surfaces and bad smells.

Often, we find that the source of the condensation problem is a structural damp problem. This could include things like broken pipes, leaking roof tiles or damp foundations. This type of water ingress will lead to excess moisture in your home that cannot easily escape. By working with us, we can tackle the damp problem first, ensuring that your home is protected against future problems.
