Humidity has a primary role in wall moulds, if you are living in a Humid area your house is prone to wall dampness or moulds, In such cases, you can use Dehumidifier which helps to an extent.

Condensation forms when water vapour in the air meets cold surfaces and cools to become liquid. walls are often colder because of cool outdoor air on the other side. Due to poor ventilation, poorly insulated rooms, Excessive moisture in the air from gas heaters, drying clothes indoors etc can trigger condensation.

Leaking pipes near or inside of walls are a common cause of mould. If there's a leaking pipe inside a wall cavity then mould will usually be well and truly set in before it's discovered.

As we discussed above the high moisture content, water leaks are all factors for these Wall paint peel off or wall dampness.

The ideal approach to identify the root cause is by conducting a Thermographic survey. A Thermographic survey is a collection of photographs taken by a Thermographic camera which shows the temperature of the building as well as areas of the building having water content or concentration. Infrared cameras are a powerful tool that spots hidden water damage before extensive damage occurs. It helps professionals in the restoration process by tracking down the source of water or humidity. , Thermal imaging cameras identify very small differences in temperature on the surface of different materials, walls, on concretes, roofs etc highlighting the warmer and the colder surface areas providing evidence of where the leak is originating.
