how to stop damage moisture in your bathroom
Damp bathrooms can cause mould and
mildew to grow, which can trigger severe
allergies. Fortunately, you can control
the dampness by following a few simple
steps. First, to protect your bathroom from
accumulating condensation, make sure you
have an effective exhaust fan that is wired
independently of any light switches. Modern
units are actually able to detect moisture in the
air, and can be programmed to automatically
remove it. Another way to control dampness
is to ensure your toilet tanks don’t run after
flushing and have insulated linings to prevent
sweating. You can also install insulating wrap
on supply pipes. Follow a simple routine of
wiping down surfaces (including shower
walls) after use as this can be an effective way
to prevent saturating the air with moisture.
Finally, when renovating, be sure to use water resistant
insulation and wallboard.
