There are a lot of ways to take care of the penetrating damp and high risk of mould in your home, and the best solution will be different between properties. Damp impacts different homes in different ways, and even individual rooms can have drastically different levels of condensation and mould.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many landlords will take steps to protect properties once the damp becomes a more serious concern. Until then, there are various ways for residents to take care of rooms, walls, windows, roof sections, and anything else that might prove problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nCheck wall and roof areas, as well as windows, that tend to get damp. Some wall and roof spaces are more vulnerable than others, and you want to find the most vulnerable wall and roof sections on your property so that you can protect them better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Look over your heating to see if you are able to heat colder rooms. A heating system, combined with a fan, can allow you to heat rooms while also getting the moisture out of the air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Cover pans, furniture, cooking utensils, or anything that you want to protect from the mould while you deal with the problem. Getting mould off a wall is a lot easier than getting it out of furniture, especially if that furniture is housing the mould inside it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Take proper health and safety measures. Whether you are a tenant or one of the area’s landlords, you want your building to be safe for people with allergies or potential health risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Contact UK local authorities if landlords have been intentionally neglecting your building. If residents can’t buy or create the solutions needed to make their homes safe, then your landlords need to, and you will want to contact local authorities if those landlords refuse to follow whatever regulations have been set for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Do your research. Look up important tips and data on dealing with mould, including things that you can do as residents to fix the problem. Even a small lead on a possible solution – or useful product on the market – can be enough to keep your building mould-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Use Simaxx. Our platform can provide important data to lead you in the right direction, covering everything from humid air to potential fan performance, as well as allowing you to make more informed decisions about how you will approach the problem on your own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With increasing focus on providing greater insulation in social housing, in order to address rise in utility costs and associated risks of fuel poverty. There is a corresponding increased likelihood of a rise in humidity and potential instances of mould propagation if fresh air is not brought into the premises . Simaxx can monitor the presence of conditions likely to encourage mould and provide alerts to the social housing landlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where humidity levels are above a certain threshold for an extended period of time, the chances of mould propagation are increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintaining a focus on the conditions likely to promote mould growth is just one of several \u2018Well being\u2019 elements that can be monitored to provide an overall picture of habitability of a tenanted property. Levels of CO2 and general temperature conditions can be synthesised into an overall picture of housing stock health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
