If possible, try hanging clothes outside to dry - even in winter. This will help with how to stop condensation on walls and ceilings in the house. If you have space see about investing in a tumble dryer which will help contain the steam and moisture when drying clothes. For a more affordable alternative, look instead to heated clothes airers. In combination with ventilation, reducing moisture is also essential to stop condensation. The average household produces a considerable amount of water vapour each day just from normal living activities. Cooking Typically, homeowners will try to remove condensation by opening a window, releasing the stuffy air from the house. However this can lead to freezing cold rooms. Retrofitting a ventilation system in a house is invasive and expensive and not always possible in older houses.

The main concern from standing water and moisture is mould. If left untreated mould will damage and discolour uPVC and wood. What if we told you that you could remove condensation in windows with no hassle and at half the price of replacement? Lifting or peeling wallpaper: If you find your wallpaper is curling away from the wall, this is likely to be caused by internal moisture, a sign of damp.

Signs of damp in a home are damp patches on walls, flaking plaster, peeling wallpaper and mould growth. You may also notice a distinct, musty, damp smell. Here’s our advice to remove this odour. This is where water enters a structure from the ground.It's more rare than damp caused by condensation, as moisture has to travel up from the ground through capillary action. Symptoms include decayed skirting boards and floors, stained plaster, and peeling paint and wallpaper. If the damp in your home is occurring lower down, it could be a case of rising damp. 3. Penetrating damp The reason we see so much condensation on single glazed glass is that the glass is susceptible to cold and stimulates the dew point from the water vapour in the air. Closed curtains are great draught excluders, but they also prevent the windowpane from being warmed up by central heating. This makes the glass colder than it could be, therefore causing condensation. Keeping curtains open at night means the glass temperature will stay closer to the room temperature so condensation won’t form. If it’s not practical to keep curtains open, changing them to thinner curtains will still make a difference. Wall marks: Dark marks on the wall are all signs that you could have damp. Damp can also manifest as discoloured plaster, caused by moisture in the wall.

There is more (non proven) evidence that acute idiopathic pulmonary haemorrhage causes memory loss and lethargy for infants. Mould and damp are caused by excess moisture in the air that has no way of escaping. Excess moisture can come from condensation left on a surface or steam created through showering, cooking or drying clothes.
