Damp, condensation and mould are common household issues. They can have a significant negative impact on your wellbeing and how you feel about your home. It’s important to know what causes them and what you can do to prevent them.
What is damp, condensation and mould?
Damp forms when moisture collects in an area and does not dry out properly.
The most common cause of dampness in homes is condensation, which occurs when warm air hits cold surfaces and results in droplets of water, this is condensation. Common causes of condensation are:
- Too much moisture in your home
- Not enough ventilation
- The temperature in your home being too low
- Cold surfaces
Over a long period, condensation build up can result in damp and allow black mould to grow.
