💰🛑 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀: 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀! 🛑💰

Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper...

Although a lot of condensation does come from a tenant's living habits, it is important not to dismiss all cases by saying 'open a window and ventilate'.

Of course, make sure you go through the standard checks first to ensure that extractor fans are working, windows are being opened, clothes are being dried in well-ventilated areas etc...

But, it could save you a lot of time and money if you took an extra 10 minutes to investigate a bit further at the initial appointment.

This may look like looking externally at the areas that have particularly bad condensation or dampness.

Things to look for are:

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸

𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴/ 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀

𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘀

All of the above can cause water penetration into the property which results in dampness, cold spots and what can appear to be condensation.

If left, they could result in thousands of pounds worth of damage and repairs to your property.

If found early, you can resolve the issue at the root cause and prevent further damage.
