Diagnosis
Report
How is condensation caused at home? Condensation is the main cause of black mould. More than half the homes in the UK suffer from condensation problems. Usually the mould grows on the coldest corners in the home. Most affected areas are outside corners, up a corner and the corner of ceilings. In high humidity mould can grow anywhere.
Condensation
Report
Steam is obvious but it becomes invisible water vapour almost instantly - steam from a kettle disappears but is still there as a gas. Unfortunately the water vapour moves around the home and condenses on cold windows, walls, leather and clothes when the house cools down each night. Every morning the steam from yesterday's shower is streaming down your bedroom windows and growing mould on your wallpaper, curtains and your children's shoes.
Woodworm
Report
Latin name - anobium punctatum. Common name - furniture beetle. This is the most common house infestation and cuts flight holes 1-2mm in diameter in slightly damp softwoods. Most often infestation is introduced by homeowners putting infested furniture into a roof or cellar - hence the common name. Fresh granules or dust indicates activity as a mature beetle has recently emerged to lay eggs.
