Thus, the wet air will not penetrate the room.
  • Bad ventilation. When in the room ceases to circulate the air, dampness appears. Check the performance of the exhaust. If it does not work or is minimal, contact the communal service.
  • Bad thermal insulation of external walls. This problem makes itself felt predominantly in the spring and autumn when the air is saturated with moisture. At this time, the walls can be soaked in dampness. The problem can be solved by the insulation of the walls of the house from the outside.
