The first rainy showers have already started, and we are slowly entering the heart of Winter, where the humidity makes its presence felt! This a problem that afflicts many homes, because in addition to the unsightly effects it has, it is also harmful to our health.

It is the time when the nightmare wakes up for every home that faces such problems. Many will be indifferent at the sight of such a problem, but also many will panic. Neither will help! Such a problem needs calmness and correct steps for the radical repair of the problem!

Mold has a strong characteristic smell and appears mainly in rooms that have moisture.

The formation of mold can be due to intense, high, and increased humidity, insufficient ventilation, and light, lack of or poor heating efficiency, water leaks due to failure of plumbing systems, insufficiently insulated exterior surfaces, moisture due to flooding or moisture due to defects on the walls and roof.

To deal with the problem of humidity, we must find the reason that causes it. This way we will be able to solve the problem once and for all and not just cover it up. A very important role is played by the point where the moisture will appear and what form it takes.

If the dampness in the wall is accompanied by mold, yellowing, and peeling plaster, it is probably a waterproofing issue. It is important to note that in this particular case, the moisture can appear either on the ceiling or on a vertical wall. In case the humidity is not a waterproofing issue then it is a water vapor accumulation problem which can be solved with roof thermal insulation something that we will see more thoroughly in another article.

Whatever the case, moisture must be eliminated as soon as it is detected, otherwise the longer we leave it, the problem will get bigger creating more serious and expanding problems in the future. The sooner it is treated, the more economical the restoration will be. Various products on the market can be used to solve these types of problems, we just have to be careful with the quality of the products and their correct application. We must emphasize that we must use compatible materials, i.e., that one material can accept (stick) the other.

However, for waterproofing to be safe, you do not need only the above. Appropriate shielding with the right silicone mastic is needed, depending on the case of course, and always with a specific application process, so that we can be sure that we got rid of mold and moisture once and for all!
