Condensation control in Chorley is most difficult in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Those are places most excess moisture is likely to accumulate. When the warm moisture hits a cold surface such as a wall or window, the result is condensation. Another place you may see condensation is on the water pipes in your basement. Those pipes run, unseen, through your walls. This is the ideal environment for black mould to grow. Left untreated, the condensation will begin to break down and soften the walls and the window frames. The growth of mould is a respiratory health hazard that must be eliminated. The only way to do that is to control the condensation. Some will install a dehumidifier in affected rooms but that may not be adequate. Opening a window in a steamy bathroom is counterproductive if the outside air is humid.

Most people don’t worry about condensation until signs of damage or mould present themselves. That’s when, in Chorley, condensation control becomes a priority. With many years of experience in the building trades, we have a complete understanding of how best to remediate when condensation has caused damage. We can replace the timbers and walls as well as undertake the eradication of mould. However, the cause of the damage must also be addressed. New builds today are constructed to be highly energy efficient, which is good only if proper ventilation is installed. If you, as the homeowner, have added to your home’s insulation, you may have solved your energy problem. However, you may have inadvertently contributed to your condensation problem.
