Condensation: a case study
Issue: “I've noticed a lot of condensation on my windows and walls, especially during colder months, and it's causing mould to form.”
​
Solution: We identified that the issue was due to excessive moisture in the indoor air. To address this problem, we advised the customer to improve ventilation by ensuring proper airflow throughout the house. We installed extractor fans in the kitchen and bathrooms to remove excess moisture at the source. Secondly, we suggested using a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels, to open trickle vents on windows and to avoid drying clothes indoors.
