What is Condensation?
We have years of experience dealing with condensation in Northwich and eliminating it from the source in properties.
When warm, moist air comes in contact with a surface that is cooler than it is, the air cools down and is unable to continue to hold the moisture as it did. This moisture laden air settles on a cold surface and mould can soon form. This is often seen on window panes or uninsulated external walls.
Condensation is by far the most common cause of dampness in buildings, probably accounting for the majority of damp problems reported. It affects both old and new buildings. Modernised, older buildings can have significant condensation. This may be due to double glazing and insulation reducing the extent that the property can naturally ‘breathe’.

Why Condensation is a Problem
If moisture caused by condensation is left on surfaces, it can prompt mould to form.
Windows do not cause condensation, but they can be a perfect breeding ground for it because they are the coldest indoor surfaces.
Indoor air is humid, mainly through everyday living, and during colder months the air is much warmer than that outside. It contracts as it cools, and moisture condenses on window glass.
Condensation is often most visible on your windows but is likely occurring in other areas. Condensation can lead to the deterioration of plaster, wallpaper, paint and woodwork.
