5 dangers to be taken seriously of poor ventilation in your home

There are many ways in which a homeowner might look to improve where they live for themselves and their family. Those who have lived in the same place for several years may decide that new décor to brighten the place up might be the way forward, perhaps added to by the purchase of new furnishings, and the latest home entertainment system to add enjoyment when relaxing in the evening.

While this will certainly extend the enjoyment of home life, other things of importance mustn’t be forgotten about. Like regularly inspecting the building for any signs of defects and ensuring that the electric supply is safe. Condensation solutions might be required along with contacting a professional team, such as us at London Damp Proofing, so that we can make a prompt visit to offer advice and solutions. It may well be to improve the ventilation of the property, having explained its dangers.

1. Poor ventilation in the home should be taken extremely seriously because of its implications when neglected. It leads to condensation that brings along problems of its own. In a nutshell, it traps moisture inside the building, leading to condensation on the walls, windows, and other surfaces. The result of which are damp problems, which can be extremely expensive to put right if not caught in their early stages by arranging a free home inspection with us.
2. The humid atmosphere, devoid of ventilation, is likely to show evidence of mould and mildew. Fortunately, when you contact London Damp Proofing, you are in the hands of mould specialists who will provide the right answers to eliminate stagnant air that can cause issues and damage surfaces, as well as create health hazards for those living in the house.
3. Those health hazards can lead to real issues, especially for anyone spending extensive time in a building with poor ventilation who has a pre-existing condition. Respiratory issues like asthma can be triggered, ending in attacks in severe cases. Other illnesses and allergies are other things to be concerned about, all of which can be forgotten about once the property is safe from damp and has an improved airflow.
4. Basement wall moisture protection might be required and can be installed by our expert, family-owned company, so that dampness in that area of the building is no longer an issue. Excessive moisture, through poor ventilation, can damage structures as timber and plaster are weakened, which potentially leads to large sums being required to put things right, which is avoidable by arranging an early appointment when any concerns arise.
5. Having poor quality air in the home is a consequence of poor ventilation, which allows pollutants and allergens to roam free so that the environment smells stale and is generally unhealthy and unpleasant to be in, sometimes made worse when drying clothes indoors.
