Why blacken walls and corners? How to get rid of the scourge + in my experience

Autumn came, and then the problem of black walls again become a headache for thousands of property owners. Attack is not spared from me: in the largest room apartment blacken and street walls, and the corners of the ceiling.

It's not just looks ugly. Black destroys wallpaper and can ruin an expensive repair. In addition, it is a fungus - mold spores breathe which is not very useful. Especially for children and people who are not so good with the respiratory system.

But, armed with the knowledge, I understood the real deal with the problem. The main thing is not to come to its decision in a slipshod manner and start working to save homes as soon as possible. To paint, why blackened walls of a fad!

The main reason for the emergence of the fungus in the house - the dampness. The first step is to find out where in the room there is moisture, and take action.

✅ If you live on the top floor, check to see if the roof leaks. Alas, the utilities (personally we) this is not followed. And the complaints about the leaking roof reacts reluctantly tenants of my house 3 times appealed to the agency before making repairs. Prior to that, just put the tray under the flow!

✅ residents of the first floor are affected by moisture coming from the cellar. What to do with it, I do not know, because I live on the second, and I will not dream. I hope that among the readers there are those who have successfully coped with this problem, and will share their personal experiences in the comments of other visitors to my channel.

✅ often condensation on the walls outside - cold inside - heat. Turns dew point and humidity. In this case, the problem is particularly acute in the cold part of the year and a bit of summer dies down.

What to do? Or sheathe House exterior insulation panels (for me this is not an option because of cost), or solve the problem of condensate a good home ventilation. Test the hood, and do not forget to regularly ventilate the room, even if the outside temperature is below zero.

✅ Sometimes the walls are frozen. Water penetrates into the micro cracks and the wall gets wet. This will tell stains and smudges of white or bluish tint. It looks like this:

There can not do without a major overhaul of the building from the outside!

What to do: plan of action to save the home of damp walls and black

I moved into a new apartment, was faced with a mold in one of the rooms. Helped solve the problem of the algorithm:

1. Nakhodka reason (alas, without this in any way!) - leaking roof. And its removal)

2. Overhaul treatment of external walls and ceiling. Now "Antiplesen" special product sold in DIY stores.

3. I began to air regularly room. I used to neglect this, because I have a lot of colors that will destroy the cold autumn air. But now I am not lazy, and every other day the pots stand in another room, but this shoot freshness).
