It’s not uncommon to have condensation problems in Leigh buildings, whether residential or commercial. In fact, it is not caused by special problems in the home, as rooms used every day such as bathrooms and kitchens can have condensation issues. This is because moisture and the exchange of warm and cold air are more prevalent there. Condensation is simply an instance of warm and moist air hitting a cold surface. Cool air lacks the ability to hold moisture so the colder the air, the ‘drier’ it is. When warm air hits the cold surface, it deposits its moisture onto it, forming beads of moisture or condensation. If not dealt with accordingly, there can be damage to plaster and timber, as well as the providence of ideal situations for the growth of black and green mould.

Presence of mould in any room causes a whole other issue if not taken care of as soon as possible. In Leigh, condensation problems can easily be dealt with by following simple steps. This includes using dehumidifiers, increasing the heat in the property or simply opening up the windows. The goal is to reduce the amount of moist air present. As easy as this sounds, these methods may not be ideal for everyone for various reasons. That is why Ascot Damp Proofing has come up with a solution to treat condensation: installing Positive Pressure Units from the Vericure Range of Condensation Control Units. These units simply create a slight positive pressure which helps to get rid of the moisture-rich air through leakage points in the property, thereby eliminating the sudden build-up of moisture, hence no chances of condensation or mould growth occurring.
