The humidity that appears on the walls of our homes can be more than just an aesthetic inconvenience. Indeed, in addition to the damage it can cause to the structures of our homes, it can also have a harmful impact on our health. Understanding the origins of this phenomenon and knowing how to treat it effectively is essential to preserving a healthy environment inside our homes.

Origins of Humidity:

Before you can effectively treat humidity in a home, it is crucial to identify its causes. These can be external or internal.

External causes: Poor exterior insulation of the house can encourage the appearance of humidity. In this case, it is recommended to call a professional to inspect the exterior wall coverings and possibly undertake repair work. Rising capillary problems also require specialized intervention to assess and resolve the problem at its source.
Internal causes: Water leaks or infiltration inside the house can also be responsible for damp walls. While these problems are less serious, they can often be resolved with simple repairs or by calling in a professional if necessary. Additionally, in rooms prone to humidity, such as bathrooms or basements, solutions such as ventilation or the use of dehumidifiers can help reduce ambient humidity.
