🌼 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴! 🌼

The days are getting longer, the gardens are coming back to life, and there’s finally a bit more sunshine around. ☀️

It’s also the perfect time to get stuck into that property to-do list and see what the wetter winter months may have left behind. 🏡

𝗪𝗧𝗙 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝘀

Something smelled a little ripe in this laundry, and it didn’t take long to see why...

Musty smells, staining and visible mould can all be clues that moisture is getting where it shouldn’t. When the ceiling starts resembling blue cheese, it’s clearly been maturing for a while. 🤢

Good inspectors are part builder, part detective and part bloodhound. 👃

Keep an eye out for 👇

💧 Musty or damp smells
💧 Mould on walls, ceilings or behind furniture
💧 Water stains, bubbling or peeling paint
💧 Condensation on windows
💧 Cold or damp patches on walls or skirting

These don’t always mean structural damage, but they can indicate excess moisture that should be investigated. 🔎

Identifying the cause early can help prevent more costly repairs down the track. 💰

𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝘄 💧

This is often the first visible sign your home is holding onto more moisture than it should...

Excess humidity and poor airflow can encourage mould to develop, particularly in homes that stay closed up during winter. ❄️

Opening your windows each day can help improve airflow and reduce moisture indoors. Wiping away mould only treats the symptom. Managing the moisture is what helps prevent it from coming back.

𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. 🔎

Certain areas of a home are more vulnerable to moisture.💧

That’s where an inspector’s experience matters, knowing where to focus testing and what signs to look for along the way. 👀

Testing the right areas is what turns readings into facts, not guesswork.

5️⃣ 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 😮‍💨

That thing keeping you alive? It's creating moisture too. 💧

The average person releases around 200ml of water into the air every hour through breathing. That's around 2 litres over a 10-hour period.

In a closed-up home during winter, that moisture has nowhere to go. It builds up in the air before settling on colder surfaces like windows and walls.

It's not just the obvious things that create moisture, it's the everyday habits we barely notice.

Fresh air is your friend. Open your windows regularly and let that moisture escape. ✅

4️⃣𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 🔥

Unflued gas heaters don’t just warm the room, they add moisture into it at the same time. 💧

For every hour they run, you can be putting around a litre of water into the air. That warm, moisture-heavy air then settles on cooler surfaces like windows, walls, and ceilings.

Run them regularly, and that extra moisture starts building up where you don’t see it straight away.
