What Is Condensation?
Condensation happens when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, causing water droplets to form. It’s a common problem in homes—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms—and can lead to mould growth, musty odours, and damage to plaster and paintwork.
If left untreated, condensation can contribute to unhealthy indoor air quality and even trigger respiratory issues. That’s why professional diagnosis and treatment are essential.
