What Is Condensation?

Condensation is a common issue in homes and buildings, occurring when warm, moisture-laden air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, leading to water droplets forming. To address this problem, condensation treatments play a crucial role. These treatments are designed to mitigate the effects of condensation by managing indoor humidity levels and improving ventilation. They help prevent the development of dampness, mould growth, and potential property damage. Whether through professional services or DIY measures, condensation treatments are essential in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment.

Condensation is simply moisture created by regular living, such as boiling water in a pot, cooking on the stove, or hanging clothes indoors to dry. Excess humidity is prevalent in the warm atmosphere of structures, but as the air inside the building becomes cooler, this moisture compresses and settles on cool surfaces.

Condensation is an extremely underestimated cause of damage to fixtures and fittings in your home, and is almost certainly the most common form of dampness found in buildings.

Condensation usually occurs in the winter months when properties are not aired properly due to it being cold outside and can destroy plasterwork, window frames, window sills, skirting boards and interior walls.

What causes condensation?

Condensation in the home occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cool surface. This process is very apparent when central heating is used in combination with single glazed windows in winter.

Condensation in properties can cause:

  • Dampness
  • Mould growth
  • Musty smell
  • Wood rot
  • Corrosion
  • Weakening of mortar
  • Weakened masonry walls
  • Health issues
