What is Condensation?

Condensation is a common type of damp. It occurs whenever moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface. Condensation forms on non-absorbent surfaces like bathroom tiles, windows and mirrors.  Warm air loses its ability to hold water when in contact with a cold surface. This excess water is released in the form of condensation. Condensation is common in properties with poor ventilation.

What causes condensation to develop in my home?

Warm air holds more humidity than cold air. In a warm room, the air warms up and when it comes into contact with a cooler surface, loses some of its humidity. This moisture forms condensation on surfaces.

What are the effects of condensation?

Over time, condensation damages interior walls and paintings. During winter, the moisture on the walls can freeze causing the paint to flake off and lift. Condensation increases the humidity in your home, causing steamed up windows and ultimately mould growth.

Besides posing a threat to your health, condensation can damage possessions like electronics. The high humidity corrodes the insides of electronics, reducing resistance and leading to short circuits. Look out for high humidity and extreme temperature fluctuations in electric appliances that you’ve brought out of your basement or cold storage.

Southern Damp Proofing can help eliminate the effects of condensation and rid your home of condensation.

What are Our Condensation Solutions?

Southern Damp Proofing offers many solutions to condensation, subject to your problem.

Among the most effective and quickest condensation solution is the injection of a chemical damp proof course. This involves injecting a silicone-based cream into drilled holes. The chemicals infuse into the masonry creating a water-repellent block. A key advantage of this technique is that it can be used on walls that have undergone extreme water saturation.

Another solution is the provision of anti-damp paints after fixing the source of the damp. This prevents mould growth. Besides this, we offer damp seal paint cover to conceal the stains on your ceilings and interior walls. This paint prevents moisture from escaping.
