Understanding and treating condensation in your home: Murprotec solutions

Condensation in the home is a simple physical phenomenon: it occurs when warm, moisture-laden air comes into contact with a colder surface, causing water vapour to turn to liquid. However, the factors favoring its appearance are varied, and depend largely on the location and construction of the dwelling. For example, in a cellar, condensation may be due to lateral water infiltration, which humidifies the ambient air, or to a thermal bridge where heat escapes, creating a cold surface. Moist air then condenses on these areas. A general lack of ventilation in the house is a frequent cause, preventing humid air from escaping properly. In the case of ceilings, condensation can result from water infiltration through the roof, water damage, or insufficient ventilation that doesn't allow humid air to escape. Understanding the exact cause of condensation is crucial to applying the right treatment and preventing further damage. Murprotec 's experts are equipped to identify this source, including hygrometric measurements and analysis of material samples.

The effects of untreated condensation can be harmful both to the home and to the health of its occupants. On the building side, it can lead to deterioration of walls and coverings, water running down surfaces, and above all the formation of black mold, which is particularly unsightly and damaging. These problems don't just affect the appearance of the home; they also have a direct impact on the health of its occupants. Mould, for example, can cause allergies, irritation and chronic conditions such asasthma. What's more, excessive humidity makes homes uncomfortable and cold, and can even reduce their value on the real estate market. So it's vital to treat condensation as soon as possible to protect both your home and your health.

Our professional approach enables us to accurately identify the most suitable treatment to achieve a definitive and lasting result.
