Whether you live in an apartment or a listed property, condensation problems in Wigan can certainly cause anxiety and worry.

Condensation happens when cold surfaces and warm air collide or it could be the result of excessive humidity inside the building. It typically occurs when your central heating comes on in or when it’s cooler outside in the mornings or evenings.

For property owners in Wigan, condensation problems are rarely an issue in summer because we tend to leave the doors and windows open much longer. In winter, they remain closed and the air inside is much warmer than that outside, causing droplets to form on the surface. This moisture may form a continuous flow or puddles which can affect your walls, furniture, soft furnishings, or flooring. Having a hot shower, drying clothes in the cellar or basement, and turning up the heat excessively can all result in creating the temperature difference.

Condensation problems in Wigan are not very complicated and can easily be fixed if you start immediately. However, most people tend to ignore them or notice them. Contact Ascot Damp Proofing right away if you are experiencing condensation problems. Increasing ventilation, keeping the heat inside lower, getting the right insulation and clearing the condensation as soon as it appears on windows or doors are some of the ways to tackle this problem. One of the hazards of leaving condensation unattended to is that it allows black and green mold to grow on your walls, and furniture giving off a characteristic damp, musty odour. This in turn leads to health hazards, skin rashes, sinus problems allergies or even serious bronchitis. Get in touch with our experts for the right information and advice on dealing with the problem.
