Frequently Asked Questions

Condensation affects most homes to some extent. This is because all households will produce a significant amount of moisture throughout each day.

This moisture will come from bodily functions, like sweating and breathing, as well as household chores like cooking, drying clothes and taking showers and baths..

In colder winter months, we are all far less likely to open doors and windows, especially when the heating is on.

As a result, moisture is trapped in the warm air in our property, ready to settle on surfaces and cause condensation. Condensation occurs when warm moist air hits a cold surface. At this point the water vapour condenses and turns back to liquid water on the surface. 

External walls are called cold walls, moisture settle first on coldest surfaces.
