Common symptoms of condensation include water running on windows, walls that feel damp to touch, black mould on walls, ceilings and window frames, mould on clothes and the development of chesty coughs.
Condensation is highly underestimated – it is a form of damp that can be very damaging to both property and health. Unlike rising damp or penetrating damp, condensation occurs when there is excessive moisture in the air - conditions of high humidity, where excess water cannot escape.
If you notice black mould fungus on walls, ceilings and joinery or are troubled by excess water on the inside of your windows, condensation is clearly a problem. The black mould fungus is known as Aspergilla spp. Condensation can also contribute to respiratory problems, and since it attracts dust mites, can exacerbate breathing difficulties.
