Moisture Problems
High levels of moisture within a property could cause excess condensation on cold surfaces such as windows. High levels of airborne moisture can penetrate different building materials. Single pain windows insulate poorly which adds to the problem. This condensation if not cleaned daily could cause moisture to seep into the drywall around window sills and create a breeding ground for mold. It is recommended that you keep a relative humidity level between 40-60%. This makes it hard for molds to survive. There are several ways to help with a moisture problem. If you see signs of excess condensation
- Single pane windows insulate poorly thus creating excessive condensation when outside cold air comes in contact with the warm air inside. It is recommended that you upgrade to dual pane windows.
- Install a residential dehumidifier to lower moisture levels. A small dehumidifier can remove up to 12 litres of water from the air a day.
- Make sure property is ventilated. Close doors and open windows when showering. Open windows when cooking.
- Turn on extractors in the kitchen and bathroom when in use.
