DISTINGUISHING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DAMP IN YOUR HOME AND TREASURE
Mold is a problem in more than 50% of houses in the United States because of dampness. It is essential to understand what needs to be done to prevent long-term damage to your health and your property when exposed to dampness. It is estimated that 28% of people are genetically predisposed to health issues associated with dampness. In addition, it is estimated that dampness in most houses can be resolved in an average of 84 days. Generally speaking, there are three types of damp: condensation, rising, and penetrating. If you're looking to maintain a healthy home environment, here are the instructions for assessing and treating damp in your home.
The most common type of damp is condensation
Usually caused by excessive indoor humidity, this type of damp occurs indoors. Cooking and bathing release water into the air. A lack of opening the windows to allow the warm moist air to flow outside, or a lack of an extractor fan, means the air soaks into the walls and ceiling. Likewise, condensation damp can be found behind large furniture, as well as where there is insufficient air flow.
This type of damp can be treated by homeowners by doing a few simple things. If cooking on the stove is covered, a window can be opened in the bathroom while bathing or showering, and the ventilation of the house can be improved, dampness is reduced and mold growth is prevented. You will want to keep your house as warm as possible during the winter months. It is easy to keep your home dry and warm by setting timers to turn on the heating at different points throughout the day.
Tidemarks and stains on the walls indicate rising damp
Even though rising damp is relatively rare, it can cause damage to the structure of your home. It is normally only present in the ground floor of a house. Discolored marks on interior walls are one of the most obvious signs of rising damp. To fix rising damp, you should install a damp-proofing course along the wall. It is most common for homeowners to remove plasterwork to expose the brick up to one meter from the wall.
Penetrating damp: Damaged brickwork or building defects
There are various places inside a home where a home can suffer from penetration damp. Generally, a broken pipe or building defects are the major causes of this type of dampness. As soon as possible, the defects should be corrected. However, if penetrating damp develops due to damaged masonry or porous bricks, other treatments might be more appropriate. A masonry protection cream can be applied to building materials like bricks and stone at an affordable price. These treatments will not only protect your house from penetrating dampness, but will also improve its thermal efficiency.
In the case of dampness, it's crucial to identify its signs as soon as possible. That will allow you to choose the most suitable method to deal with this issue and protect both your health and your property. There are people who are more sensitive to mold than others. To prevent this, humidity levels should be controlled, ventilated and leaking windows, pipes, or roofs immediately repaired.
