Condensation Control

Poor Condensation Control causes Black Mould

Damp Proofing, Condensation Problem, Damp Bedroom – Great Ayton, Stokesley

Condensation arises because warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. Furthermore, the presence of condensation will be reduced in direct proportion to the increased temperature of the internal walls. In addition, when condensation settles on walls and windows, this forms the basis for mould growth.

How to identify condensation

Condensation is most commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms. Similarly in areas in close proximity. Above all in any area with poor ventilation: under stairs, cupboards, behind furniture.

Mould growth is particularly evident behind furniture where there is insufficient cross-flow ventilation. In other words places unable to disperse the natural exhalation being generated by the occupants.

How to control condensation

There are three ways to effectively treat and control condensation. For all the solutions below following should be mandatory:

  1. Open windows more frequently.
  2. Install extractor fans in bathroom and kitchen, possibly trickle vents to windows.
  3. Avoid drying clothes on radiators.

Treatment Method

  1. Use Tyne Tees Damp Proofing specialist mould cleanser and paint additive (for minor cases).
  2. Install passyfier dehumidifier vents (Appropriate if only one or two rooms are affected).
  3. Install a Positive Pressure Ventilation unit (PPU) which is also sometimes known as a Positive Input Ventilation system (PIV) . (Most appropriate solution to treat whole property).

Condensation Control Diagnosis

Diagnosing the route cause should only be done by a qualified experienced person. At Tyne Tees Damp Proofing we have the experience and the knowledge to recommend the most appropriate solution. Allow our professional damp proofing specialists operating in Great Ayon, Stokesley and surrounding areas to help treat the condensation in your home today. Identification of the problem is the first step towards the solution.

I would highly recommend Tyne Tees Damp Proofing
We had an ongoing problem with condensation and black mould in one of our bedrooms and tried all sorts of short-term measures to try and fix it - none of which worked. Tyne Tees Damp Proofing carried out a thorough survey of the room and the rest of the property and sent a detailed report clearly explaining what we needed to do along with a quote for the work. The team was very professional and carried out the work efficiently. It was all finished in one day and has made such a difference. Customer service was very good too. I would highly recommend Tyne Tees Damp Proofing

Highly Recommend
Brett was kind enough to carry out an inspection for rising damp and condensation problems at extremely short notice on a weekend as our mortgage lender needed this asap and were holding back money on our mortgage. After we completed our purchase Brett and his team carried out the damp proofing work for our new property in North Shields as outlined in the report. The plastering was excellent and they removed all rubbish at no extra cost. Excellent service will definitely recommend. Thanks a million.
