The video sheds light on the benefits and potential issues, including dampness and mould. ๐Ÿ’ฆ Causes of Damp and Moisture Problems: Moisture issues can arise when insulation disrupts the air circulation within cavities, leading to damp patches, especially in poorly ventilated areas. ๐Ÿงฑ Cavity Wall Construction History: The video outlines the evolution of wall construction, from solid walls to cavity walls, to combat moisture infiltration. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Ventilation and Humidity Control: Proper ventilation is emphasized to reduce humidity levels. Tools like humidity sensors and dehumidifiers can help maintain optimal indoor conditions. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ The Role of Storm Dry Coating: Storm Dry, a protective coating, is suggested as an effective remedy for damp issues. It helps seal walls against rain while allowing existing moisture to escape. ๐Ÿ€ Addressing Insulation Voids and Rodents: Voids in insulation can lead to cold spots and dampness. Proper sealing is critical to prevent issues like rodent infestations. โœ… Maintenance Tips: Regular inspections and maintaining pointing and gutters can prevent common problems associated with cavity wall insulation. ========================================== #homeinsulation #homeimprovement #damp ๐Ÿ“ช Newsletter: http://skill-builder.uk/signup https://www.tiktok.com/@skillbuilder https://www.facebook.com/skillbuilderchannel https://www.instagram.com/skill_builder https://twitter.com/skillbuilderuk ๐Ÿ”— Skill Builder Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/skillbuilder ๐Ÿ›’ As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases ๐ŸŽฌ Video library: https://www.youtube.com/skillbuilderchannel/videos ๐Ÿ’ง We Support Charity Water: https://www.charitywater.org โ—พ Out of respect to our sponsors and followers, we'll remove comments that do not follow expected standards of politeness and decency.
