Battling Condensation in Your Bathroom?
We help customers who are constantly in a battle to keep mould at bay in their homes. This becomes a more prevlant issue during the colder winter months. Our clients in and around Medway and Maidstone often come to us with these sorts of problems:
- Excessive Moisture: Condensation leaves bathrooms damp, with water droplets on walls, mirrors, and windows, especially in colder months.
- Mould and Damp Problems: Persistent condensation fuels black mould growth and damp patches, ruining decor and posing health risks.
- Ineffective Ventilation: Weak or outdated extractor fans fail to clear humidity, worsening condensation issues.
- Uncertainty About Fixes: Before the Techmeisters turned up on the scene, a lot of customers found it really quite hard to seek out a contractor who specialises in residential ventilation.
Why Does Condensation Lead to Mould?
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air meets cooler surfaces, creating the perfect environment for mould. Our experts at Techmeisters explain the key factors:
- Moisture Load: Everyday activities like showering, bathing, cooking, (and even breathing) adds moisture to the air, like filling a bucket with water. The more moisture produced, the higher the “water level” climbs.
- Limited Ventilation: Ventilation methods, such as extractor fans, PIV systems, or open windows, act like a hole in the bucket to release moisture. A weak fan or cracked window is a small hole, while a powerful fan creates a larger one to clear humidity faster.
- Condensation Buildup: If moisture production outpaces ventilation, the “bucket” overflows, causing condensation. This leads to steamed-up windows, wet walls, ceilings, or tiles, creating damp conditions.
- Mould’s Ideal Environment: Moisture is mould’s best friend. The more often moisture lingers and the longer it sits without drying, the easier mould is able to take root and grow.
- Mould-Prone Areas: Bathrooms are hit hardest due to high moisture from washing routines. Mould also appears in colder spots like top-floor ceilings (with lofts above), windows, or window reveals, and external walls, these colder surfaces where condensation regularly forms.
