Cornwall Condensation Treatment
Condensation
Condensation comes from water vapour within the building.
Common sources may include cooking, bathing, dishwashers, etc.

The moisture in the air condenses on cold surfaces, sometimes inside the walls. Buildings with poorly insulated walls are very prone to this problem.
It often causes damage similar to damp in a building and often appears in similar places.
This is because it occurs in the “dead air” pockets that accumulate in both horizontal and vertical corners (i.e. out of circulating air patterns).
Moisture condenses on the interiors of buildings due to specific interactions between the roof and wall. Leaks most commonly occur on flat-roofed buildings.
Certain building materials and mechanisms can be used to prevent condensation from occurring in these areas, therefore reducing structural dampness and potential mold infestation. In many cases, the insulation between the roof and wall is compressed, leading to a decrease in thermal resistance.
Due to the lack of thermal resistance, condensation occurs, which leads to water damage in the indoor environment.
In most cases where moisture is not addressed quickly enough, mold and mildew develop.
Another issue is that wind washing up into the crevice where the roof and wall intersect reduces the efficiency of the insulation. This results in condensation and risk for mold growth.
In the United Kingdom, condensation problems are particularly common between October and March – to the extent that this period is often referred to as the “condensation season
Condensation is responsible for many significant dampness problems in residential buildings.
Cornwall Damp Proofing offers a wide range of solutions for problems of mould and condensation.
Many properties, especially tenanted flats and holiday properties can suffer from condensation, resulting in black or green mould growth developing on furnishings, clothing, walls and ceilings within the property.
Accumulation of moisture vapour within the property, combined with poor heating and ventilation arrangements, provide the ideal conditions for mould to develop.
In order to provide a reliable, effective solution to such problems, especially in cases where the owner does not occupy the residence, the most effective methods of preventing condensation are to improve the air quality, to remove the damp laden air and ensure a supply of fresh, filtered air in to the property.
