Condensation problems in Aspull often occur at this time of the year. The weather is largely to blame with relatively high rainfall and cooler air. Windows are not opened to allow for good air circulation and condensation thus becomes a problem. It will behave in the same way as rising damp and create pockets of dampness in corners. This then leads to the growth of mould and rot. Common causes of condensation are cooking, bathing and dishwashers among other things. The moisture in the air condenses on colder surfaces and is often found in poorly insulated walls. This will cause damage similar to damp and often appears in the same places.

There are many causes of damp in a home or office. In Aspull, condensation problems can quickly become an expensive repair if left. Damp can cause secondary damage to buildings as the unwanted moisture allows fungi to grow in the wood.  This can cause health issues in the residents or workers in a property. The visual signs are usually stained walls or the growth of mould. The plaster, paint and wallpaper will deteriorate and need to be removed so that we can apply treatment to the area. The destructive aspect of fungi and moulds can cause a building to become structurally unsound and the health of the inhabitants can be seriously affected.
