Your Health is at Risk from Damp and Mould
If your homes insulation has been poorly fitted, or is not suitable for your property, you may encounter problems with damp and mould, leading to possible damage to the external brickwork.
Modern property insulation, double glazing, and draught proofing can result in poor air circulation resulting in trapped moisture and the build-up of condensation. Your walls may feel damp to the touch. There may be signs of black mould and condensation on internal walls, and you may be able to smell mould in the room.
When standard insulation becomes wet, they lose their thermal performance benefit, and you may notice that your home is losing more heat and your bills are increasing in cost. Living in a cold, damp environment can also increase health problems such as: influenza, strokes, and heart disease.
Some people are more sensitive to mould than others, and some groups are especially vulnerable. Babies and children, elderly people, those with existing skin problems, such as eczema, or respiratory problems, such as allergies and asthma, and anyone who is immuno-compromised should all be kept away from damp and mould.
The risk of further damp, condensation, mould, and further issues is almost immediately removed when the cavity wall insulation is extracted, and the property is cleaned and aired.
