Can anyone tell me the typical characteristics, how to distinguish between condensation and damp inside the home? :?:
Is there a real difference in the height of the wetness ?(ie low,mid,high sections of a room) :?:
Is it Damp or Condensation that tends to show in the mid to lower part of a corner of a room? :?:
:!: I am witnessing mounld growth mostly in mid down to lower sections of corners of the rooms located at the four corners of the house.
I can only see fine hair line cracks in the plaster on the inside of the walls and some from roof to floor on the outside of the plaster,outside the house.
I am also:
:arrow: Shutting the kitchen/bathroom doors when cooking/showering & opening the kitchen window as I have no extractor.
:arrow: Keeping the window in the utility room ajar when hanging clothes
:arrow: Setting the heating thermostat to at 17C at night,15C when I go out to work or the shops and 20C when I am in the house.
:arrow: Keeping furniture away from the walls as much as possible.
It is winter now and I don't like opening the bedroom windows for long, appx 5 mins in the morn to clear the condensation first thing each morning.
:!: There appears to be NO air vents in the windows,doors nor walls. But there are draughts coming in from outside!
:? The house is appx 15 years old and I have been told it was washed externally with a waterproofing.
