🍂 Cooler Days, Dry Air – Don’t Be Fooled! 🍂

It may feel like autumn has arrived, but the past days have been unusually dry, with humidity around 20% and temperatures in the mid-20s °C.

At first, this feels great: fresh air, less stickiness, and walls that seem dry.

But here’s the catch:
⚠️ Low humidity only hides the symptoms of damp.
⚠️ The moisture inside walls and floors hasn’t disappeared—it’s just lying dormant.
⚠️ Once the wetter autumn weeks come, the same problems (mold, peeling paint, damp smells) will reappear quickly, often worse than before.
💡 Now is the best time to act, before rain and rising humidity expose hidden damage.

🌡️☀️ Summer Heat Won’t Save Your Home from Damp

Many homeowners believe that the hot, dry summer air protects them from humidity problems.

But here’s the truth:

🔍 Dry air doesn’t cure damp – it only dries the surface, while moisture stays trapped deep in your walls and floors.

🏚️ Hidden damage continues – the structure of your home can still weaken, and mold spores remain ready to return once humidity rises again.

💨 False sense of security – everything looks fine in July, but come autumn, the problems reappear even worse.

At DRY EXPERT, we provide long-term solutions such as:
✔️ Hydrophobic wall injections against rising damp
✔️ Breathable plaster systems to let walls dry properly
✔️ Smart ventilation & coatings against condensation
Don’t let the summer sun fool you – real protection comes from professional treatment.

🌞 Don’t Be Fooled by Dry Summer Air! 🌞

High summer heat in Spain often makes damp patches and mold stains disappear. But beware — this is only a false sense of security.

👉 The truth is:

- The heat & dryness only pull out surface moisture.
- Inside your walls, the damp remains trapped.
- As soon as autumn brings rain & humidity, the problem comes back — often worse than before.

💡 Dry summers don’t solve damp problems — they just hide them temporarily.

That’s why it’s smart to fix the root cause now, before the wetter season returns.

How Our DRY-EXPERTs Stop Rising Damp for Good 🛠💧

🚨 Signs you may have rising damp:
• Paint bubbling at the bottom of walls
• Peeling paint
• Musty smell that never goes away

The cause: Poor ground/floor insulation + your walls’ natural capillarity.

💡 Our solution:
Instead of expensive full-floor insulation, we use hydrophobic injections from German manufacturer BKM.Mannesmann:

✅ Creates a horizontal barrier to stop water from rising
✅ Lets your walls breathe (pores stay open)
✅ Comes with a 25-year effectiveness warranty
✅ Combined with our breathable waterproof plaster system for lasting dryness

Mold Despite Ventilation? Here's Why It Happens… 😷🏠

Even with regular airing, mold can still show up on your walls—and it’s not just ugly, it’s bad for your health! 🤧

💡 Common mistake:
Leaving windows slightly open all day ❌
➡ This cools the walls, wastes energy & barely replaces air

✅ The right way to ventilate:
• Open ALL windows for 5–10 minutes
• Do this 2–3x a day (💨 "shock ventilation")
• Keeps air dry without cooling your home too much

🚿 In bathrooms:
Install smart extractor fans with humidity sensors to fight mold automatically

If you’re struggling with mold even after proper ventilation, it may be time for professional help.

Flat Roof Waterproofing — What Every Homeowner Should Know

Flat roofs look sleek — but they need special protection.

Without proper waterproofing, water can collect, seep in, and lead to serious structural damage over time.
So how do we keep them dry for good?

Why Flat Roofs Are Tricky:

Unlike pitched roofs, flat roofs don’t drain water easily.
That means rainwater can pool on the surface — especially if there are cracks or poor insulation.

Over time, this leads to:
- Damp spots inside the ceiling
- Mold and mildew
- Cracks and sagging

Our DRY-EXPERT Waterproofing System:

Here’s how we protect your roof step by step:

✔️ Inspection
We assess the structure, slope, and existing material.

✔️ Cleaning & Prep
We clean the surface, fix cracks, and remove damaged sections.

✔️ Membrane Application
We apply a high-quality waterproof membrane — elastic, UV-resistant, and long-lasting. This seals the surface fully and adapts to temperature changes.

✔️ Optional Thermal Insulation
In many cases, we recommend adding insulation underneath — it reduces heat, prevents condensation, and boosts energy efficiency.

Why Choose DRY-EXPERT?

- Years of experience in flat roof damp prevention
- Certified, weather-resistant materials
- Fast, clean installation
- Long-term guarantees

Everyone NEEDS to know these health consequences of mold

Mold isn’t just unpleasant — it can seriously harm your health.
Here’s what long-term exposure can do to your body and mind:

🫁 Lung Issues
Mold attacks the lungs and reduces oxygen in your system.
This can lead to migraines, shortness of breath, and poor physical performance — even years later.

🧠 Mental Health Effects
The stress and inflammation mold causes can trigger:

- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Brain fog
- Depression

😴 Constant Fatigue
Your immune system has to work overtime.
Result?
You feel tired, weak, and may struggle with insomnia — especially if you have allergies or asthma.

🧩 Memory + Focus Problems
Chronic exposure can impair:
Short-term memory

- Decision-making
- Concentration

⚠️ Don’t wait.
Mold may not seem urgent — but it will worsen over time.

Let DRY-EXPERT solve it at the root:

We offer long-term solutions for mold, dampness, and condensation.

How Do I Know If My Home Is Too Humid?

Struggling with constant moisture in the air?
Too much humidity can create a breeding ground for mold — and trigger health issues for your family.

Ideal indoor humidity should stay between 45–65%.
(You can check this using a hygrometer or your AC control panel, if available.)

Balanced humidity is essential:

- Too much = mold, dampness, musty smells

- Too little = dry skin, cracked lips, and static shocks

5 signs your home may be too humid:

1. Condensation on windows, mirrors, pipes, or cool surfaces
2. Stains or discoloration on ceilings and walls
3. Damp patches or softness in floors, walls, or wooden furniture
4. Musty smells — step outside and come back in to test your nose
5. Allergy-like symptoms, like wheezing or coughing, with no clear cause

Proper Ventilation in Summer: Windows Open or Closed on Hot Days?

Summer’s here — and so is the heat. But how do you keep your home cool and dry?

Here’s what our DRY EXPERTS recommend:
Open all windows wide early in the morning, when the outside air is cooler.

Keep windows and shutters closed from early noon to late afternoon, when outdoor temperatures are highest.

General rule: Only open windows when it’s cooler outside than inside. Your weather app can help.

For lasting cooling, leave windows open overnight when possible — this allows trapped heat to escape.

🔄 Important tip: If you're showering or cooking during the day, open the windows right away. That humid air needs to leave immediately.

High humidity + summer heat = perfect conditions for mould. Proper ventilation is key.

How We Treat Different Types of Damp — The DRY EXPERT Way

There are three main types of damp – and each needs a different approach.
Here’s how our DRY EXPERTs handle them:

Condensation Damp

This is the most common type, caused by trapped moisture and poor airflow.
The solution? Better ventilation.

We recommend:
Smart extractor fans (especially for bathrooms and kitchens)
Our special anti-condensation coating

These two combined help moisture escape and prevent mold from forming in the first place.

Penetrating Damp (Damp by Filtration)

This happens when water seeps into walls from outside — usually from blocked gutters, leaks, adjacent soil, or damaged roof tiles.

Our experts will:
Check your roof, pipes, and drains for damage or blockages
Repair leaks and install proper drainage
Fix the source, and the damp disappears.

Rising Damp

If you smell damp or see paint peeling at the bottom of your walls, this could be rising damp — moisture from the ground working its way up.

Full floor insulation is one option — but it’s expensive.
We offer a more affordable (but just as effective) solution:

A horizontal moisture barrier
Waterproof and breathable plaster system

This combo stops rising moisture for good — and keeps your walls clean and dry.

⚠️ Dry skin, lips & eyes
⚠️ Irritated throat, sinuses & lungs
⚠️ More colds & infections (bacteria and viruses spread more easily!)
⚠️ Feeling cold even when the room is warm
⚠️ Static electricity and discomfort

💡 The ideal humidity in your home should stay between 45% and 60%.

💧 What Is Damp Proofing—and Why You Should Care 💧

Humidity problems aren’t just annoying—they damage your walls, ruin paint, and can seriously impact your health.

Our damp proofing service doesn’t just cover up symptoms—it finds the root of the problem and prevents it from returning. Here’s what we tackle:

🔸 Condensation – When warm air meets cold surfaces, it causes water droplets on windows, walls, and corners. This leads to mold, mildew, and bubbling paint. Poor ventilation is usually the cause.

🔸 Penetrating Damp – Water leaking in through damaged pipes, roofs, or walls. It seeps into your ceilings or plaster and shows up as stains, flaking paint, or soft and wet plaster.

🔸 Rising Damp – Very common in homes with poor ground insulation. Moisture rises from the floor into walls, causing peeling paint, crumbling plaster, or even rotting wood.

At DRY EXPERT, we identify the problem, treat it properly, and protect your home long term with breathable systems that work.

Preventing Mold Growth: The Right Way to Ventilate

Mold stains on walls not only make a home look neglected but also pose serious health risks. Mold thrives under specific conditions, and unfortunately, many homes provide the perfect environment for its growth.

One common cause is improper ventilation. Many people either ventilate too briefly or leave windows slightly open, mistakenly believing this allows for proper air exchange. However, this method is ineffective—it fails to remove humidity efficiently, cools down walls, and wastes energy.

The best solution? Smart ventilation. In moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, installing humidity-controlled extractors ensures excess moisture is removed automatically, preventing mold before it starts.

For general ventilation, it’s recommended to open multiple windows fully for 5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. This technique, known as shock ventilation, quickly replaces humid indoor air while preventing unnecessary heat loss, keeping your home dry, fresh, and energy-efficient.

Preventing Water Damage: Effective Drying After Floods and Heavy Rainfall

Heavy rainfall or sudden flooding can cause severe water damage to your home or business, leading to mold growth and structural issues. Moisture in walls and floors must be removed quickly to prevent long-term damage.

How to Effectively Handle Water Damage?

A professional drying process is essential after water intrusion. Using high-performance dehumidifiers and dryers, excess moisture is removed efficiently to prevent consequential damage.

Our Solutions for Lasting Drying:

✅ Powerful dryers for rapid dehumidification
✅ Preventive measures against future damage
✅ Expert assessment and tailored solutions

Why Is Too Much Humidity Bad For Your Home?

Aside from just making things uncomfortable, having too much humidity in your home (especially for prolonged periods of time) can damage your home and even present a health hazard.

If you let the humidity in your home go unchecked for too long, you’re putting yourself at risk for mold growth.

Mold loves warm, damp conditions, and it’ll be more than happy to start spreading throughout your home if the conditions are right.

At best, the presence of mold in your house will simply cause an unpleasant, musty smell. In more serious cases, however, inhaling mold spores can trigger allergic reactions in people with asthma or other allergies, and in the worst cases, mold will eventually start destroying any soft surfaces it is growing on.

Is Your Home Too Humid? Here’s How to Tell

Excess humidity in your home can lead to discomfort, mold growth, and even health issues. The ideal indoor humidity should range between 45-65%. You can check this with a hygrometer or your AC control panel.
Signs of High Humidity:

✅ Condensation on windows, mirrors, and pipes
✅ Stains or discoloration on ceilings and walls
✅ Soft or damp floors, walls, or wooden objects
✅ Musty odors, especially after returning home
✅ Unexplained allergies, coughing, or wheezing

How do our DRY-EXPERTs treat penetrating damp/damp by filtration?

Blocked gutters and drains can cause water not to flow off properly causing it to sit on and seep through joints and into your walls and ceiling below due to lack of proper insulation.

If there is reason to believe the problem is coming from above, our DRY-EXPERTs will check for any signs of damage to your roof. A leak could be caused by a missing/loose roof tile or damaged connective joints, for example.

If we have not found any problem up to that point, we will check your pipes for signs of leaks.

Once the source of the issues has been identified any leaks and joints will be repaired, drains and gutters cleaned or installed if nonexistent.

Discovering dark spots on your walls?

It could be black mold, often triggered by high humidity. Black mold usually starts as small black dots, expanding over time, and can pose health risks, potentially triggering allergies, asthma, and even cancer.

Excessive indoor humidity, often found in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and crowded spaces, promotes mold growth. Here’s what you can do to help prevent this from happening:

1. Firstly, to prevent the spreading, any mold spores must be eliminated
2. If mold has already affected your furniture, disposal may be necessary
3. Avoid condensation, especially in cold corners
4. Maintain proper ventilation (air out your rooms once or twice a day for 5-10 minutes)
5. Maintain appropriate heating behaviors
6. Use dehumidifiers to maintain humidity levels between 40-60%
7. Contact DRY-EXPERT for professional mold treatment and removal

We not only remove the mold and treat the area, but also find the root cause of the mold and propose solutions to prevent further growth in the future.

How To Prevent Mold Growth in Your Home

Mold can have many effects on our health. For some people, mold can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing or wheezing, burning eyes, or skin rash. People with asthma or who are allergic to mold may have severe reactions. Therefore, we should take some preventive measures.

Here is what you can do to avoid mold in your house:

Keep humidity levels in your home low —no higher than 65-70%–all day long. The AC and dehumidifiers can help you keep the level low. You can buy a hygrometer to check your home’s humidity at a home improvement store or online. Humidity levels change over the course of a day so you will need to check the humidity levels multiple times a day.

Make sure your home has adequate ventilation. Use exhaust fans that vent the humid air outside your home, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Leaks in your home’s roof, walls, or plumbing are a great way for water to slowly creep into your walls and feed the mold to grow. If you need professional help doing so, feel free to contact DRY-EXPERT.

Anti-condensation coatings can be a very solid and cost-effective way of preventing condensation and mold growth in the future.

Clean bathrooms and the kitchen regularly.

Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that have been soaked and cannot be dried right away. Think about not using carpet in places like bathrooms or basements that may keep a lot of moisture.

Does damp-proofing increase the value of my house?

Dampness—it's the silent intruder that strikes fear into the hearts of homeowners. Its appearance can be distressing, driving away potential buyers faster than you can say "sold."

Picture this: you're ready to sell your beloved home, but damp issues threaten to sabotage your plans. Questions about dampness inevitably arise, casting doubt on the integrity of your property.

But fear not! There's a solution that not only preserves your home's value but also scores you plus points with buyers—damp-proofing.

So, yes – damp proofing is a great way to improve the value of your home and increase the likelihood that it will sell. A property with clear signs of dampness will take a significant hit on its value, and be sold for a much lower price. What’s more, the attribute of being damp-proof is an attractive attribute, especially if you have an older property.

Our Damp Proofing Solutions:

1. Hydrophobic Injections:
These create a water-resistant seal in your walls.

2. Breathable Plaster Systems:
Prevents moisture build-up while allowing walls to ventilate.

3. Long-Term Protection:
Our German-made products come with a 25-year guarantee.

Why It’s Vital for Winter:

Winter rains intensify rising damp. Early damp proofing protects your home, preserving its value and comfort.

📞 Let us help you with expert damp proofing!

Protect Your Home with Proper Roof Repairs Before Winter

Winter in Andalucía often brings heavy rains and strong winds, making roof maintenance an essential part of home preparation. Neglecting roof repairs can lead to leaks, structural damage, and costly emergencies.

The Importance of Roof Repairs for Winter:

1. Preventing Leaks: Even small cracks can cause major water damage.
2. Insulation Efficiency: A well-maintained roof keeps your home warmer by retaining heat.
3. Structural Integrity: Early repairs stop minor issues from escalating into structural hazards.

Combatting Mold Before Winter: Protect Your Health and Home

As winter approaches, the combination of cooler temperatures and increased humidity can lead to mold growth in your home. Mold doesn’t just affect your home’s appearance; it poses serious risks to your health and property value.

Why Mold is a Winter Concern

- Increased Humidity: Poor ventilation in winter traps moisture indoors.
- Hidden Growth: Mold thrives in damp corners, under carpets, or behind walls.
- Health Risks: Prolonged exposure can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and skin irritation.

How We Help You Stay Mold-Free

Our mold removal and prevention services tackle the problem at its source:

- Inspection: We identify hidden mold and the conditions enabling its growth.
- Treatment: Advanced techniques eradicate mold, spores, and stains.
- Prevention: We use breathable solutions that maintain air circulation and prevent future outbreaks.

Why Early Action Matters

Allowing mold to persist worsens the damage, making repairs more costly and putting your health at greater risk. By acting now, you safeguard both your family and your home.

Why Damp Proofing is Essential Before Winter

Winter rains in Andalucía bring challenges for many homes, especially those without adequate damp proofing. Rising damp not only weakens walls but also creates conditions for mold growth and heat loss, leaving your home uncomfortable and less energy-efficient.

The Risks of Rising Damp:
- Structural Damage:
Moisture seeps into walls, weakening plaster and paint over time.

- Health Concerns:
Damp creates an environment ripe for mold, which can affect respiratory health.

- Energy Loss:
Damp walls conduct heat poorly, increasing heating costs.

The Solution: Professional Damp Proofing

A professional damp proofing system stops moisture from rising through your walls. By installing a hydrophobic barrier, we ensure water can’t seep into your home. This is complemented by breathable plasters that allow moisture to escape, keeping your home warm and dry throughout winter.

Benefits of Damp Proofing:
- Prevents structural damage.
- Enhances indoor air quality.
- Reduces energy bills by improving insulation.

Act Now Before Winter Hits

Preparation is key to enjoying a warm, dry, and comfortable home during the colder months. Don’t wait for damp issues to worsen!

Protecting Property Value: The Role of Damp Proofing in Longevity

Damp proofing plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity and value of your property. Moisture infiltration not only damages walls, floors, and foundations but also accelerates decay, leading to costly repairs.

Over time, untreated damp issues can devalue a property significantly.

By implementing proper damp-proofing solutions, such as hydrophobic barriers and breathable wall coatings, homeowners ensure long-term protection.

This preservation keeps the building's structure intact, prevents mold growth, and enhances the overall market appeal.

Protecting Your Home from the Rainy Season: Insulation and Waterproofing Tips

As the rainy season approaches, homes face a greater risk of water infiltration and moisture issues. Proper insulation and waterproofing can help keep interiors warm, dry, and healthy even through persistent rain. Homes with outdated or poorly installed insulation may experience dampness, leading to mold, peeling paint, and potential structural damage.

A breathable, moisture-resistant barrier is essential. Modern, water-repellent insulation combined with effective sealants on walls and windows helps prevent water ingress while allowing moisture to escape, thus reducing condensation and mold growth. Additionally, good roof maintenance and window seals prevent leaks that contribute to damp conditions indoors.

By investing in insulation upgrades and waterproofing now, you can protect your home against the elements, improving comfort and indoor air quality.

Why the Time Change Marks Mold Season—and What to Do About It

As temperatures drop and heating becomes essential, indoor humidity rises, especially with less ventilation, creating ideal conditions for mold.

During this time, homes often trap moisture against cooler exterior walls, leading to condensation and mold growth. To reduce risk, regular ventilation is key, along with using mold-resistant materials and products that regulate moisture.

Take preventive action this season to keep your home healthy.

The Role of Insulation in Moisture Control

Insulation is more than just a tool for managing heat—it's also essential for controlling moisture in your home. In climates like Spain's, moisture can easily seep into poorly insulated walls and floors, leading to issues like rising damp and mold growth.

Quality insulation creates a protective barrier, reducing the amount of moisture that infiltrates your home and keeping it dry and comfortable year-round.

We offer specialized insulation services to safeguard your home.

What does Damp Proofing do?

The process of damp proofing involves identifying the damp issue, confirming what type of damp issue you’re facing, treating it, and then putting measures in place to prevent it from returning.

There are three main types of damp that commonly occur, especially as a result of bad ventilation. The three most common types of damp are:

Condensation – This is when moisture is trapped and allowed to build up inside your property combined with the lack of proper ventilation. If this is the case, you will see water droplets forming on unexpected surfaces like windows and room corners. Over time, this can cause mold spores, mildew, or paint bubbling.

Penetrating damp – This is caused when moisture (commonly from a leak in pipes, gutters, or your roof) is seeping into the walls or ceiling from an external source.

Rising damp – This is where damp is attacking the property from the ground up. This can be seen in skirting boards (causing them to rot), flaking plaster, or stained and peeling paint. Spanish houses often lack proper floor isolation making raising damp incredibly common.

How Humidity Affects the Lifespan of Your Home

Excessive humidity can significantly reduce the lifespan of your home. It accelerates wear and tear on materials like wood and plaster, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and a reduction in air quality. This is especially problematic in Spain, where humidity levels can rise quickly.

Our advanced moisture control solutions, including breathable multi-layer plaster systems, help protect your home from dampness while ensuring long-term durability.

Why Proper Wall Insulation Matters for Damp Prevention

In many homes, especially older constructions, inadequate insulation is a common issue that contributes to rising and penetrating damp. Without proper insulation, moisture from the ground and adjacent soil can travel through walls, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and unhealthy indoor environments.

At Dry Expert, we focus on providing high-quality insulation services tailored to protect your home from damp. Our advanced multi-layer plaster and waterproofing solutions create a breathable yet water-resistant barrier, preventing moisture from seeping in and ensuring long-term protection for your property.
Our team offers a free assessment of your home's insulation and provides recommendations on how to optimize its resistance to damp.

How Mold Can Seriously Impact Your Home’s Comfort and Well-Being

Mold is not just an unsightly problem; it can severely impact the comfort and health of your home. When mold develops, typically due to excess moisture, it releases spores into the air. These spores can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and exacerbate asthma, especially in sensitive individuals like children and the elderly.

Beyond health risks, mold damages walls, ceilings, and flooring, creating a damp, musty environment. This reduces comfort by causing unpleasant odors and peeling paint. Left untreated, mold can spread rapidly, increasing the cost and complexity of repairs.

Preventing Mold in Your Home

To prevent mold growth, ensure proper ventilation in damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Address any leaks promptly, and consider using a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. Additionally, improving insulation and waterproofing walls can help create a more comfortable, healthy living environment.

How to Prevent Rising Damp in Your Home

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels upwards into your walls, often leading to peeling paint, mold, and a damp smell. In Spain, homes are particularly prone to this due to insufficient or lack of floor insulation.

To prevent rising damp, we offer a cost-effective solution: hydrophobic injections. These injections create a water-resistant barrier in your walls, stopping moisture from rising. Our product, backed by a German manufacturer's 25-year guarantee, allows your walls to breathe while staying dry. Combined with our waterproof but breathable multi-layer plaster system, this treatment provides a long-term solution.

Fungi: The Silent Death of Millions Every Year!

A new study has revealed alarming figures regarding fungal infections worldwide: Annually, around 3.8 million people die from these often underestimated microorganisms, nearly double the number from a decade ago. Fungi can attack our bodies in various ways, from harmless skin fungi to life-threatening infections like a resistant Candida auris infection. However, the extent of the problem is poorly documented due to a lack of adequate diagnostics.
Individuals with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable, as fungal infections often go unnoticed. Fungi can cause deadly lung and blood infections.

Since vaccines and effective medications against fungi are lacking and resistance is increasing, early diagnosis is crucial to contain the spread and save lives. It is therefore urgently necessary to raise awareness of fungal infections and take precautions.

Certain fungal infections can also be caused by mold. Mold is a type of fungus that occurs in the environment and is capable of causing various health problems, especially when it grows in large quantities indoors. Some types of mold-forming fungi can also cause diseases in humans, especially those who are already weakened or susceptible to infections. Therefore, it is crucial to take immediate action when mold is found in one's living area.

With DRY EXPERT you can now get rid of this problem and remove this concern of harmful mold for good.

The consequences of blocked gutters and drains

Blocked gutters and drains can cause water not to flow off properly causing it to sit on and seep through joints and into your walls and ceiling below due to lack of proper insulation.
If there is reason to believe the problem is coming from above, our DRY-EXPERTs will check for any signs of damage to your roof. A leak could be caused by a missing/loose roof tile or damaged connective joints, for example.
If we have not found any problem up to that point, we will check your pipes for signs of leaks.
Once the source of the issues has been identified any leaks and joints will be repaired, drains and gutters cleaned or installed if nonexistent.

How do our DRY-EXPERTs treat damp through condensation?

To treat condensation, we will need to improve the air circulation and ventilation within your property.
The most effective and permanent methods include investing in the installation of the correct ventilation system (especially in kitchens or bathrooms) and our special anti-condensation coating. With ventilation systems, in particular, a smart extraction unit (humidistat-controlled) is the best kind that can be fitted to a bathroom or kitchen.

Mold

Just the word can inspire anxiety in even the most laid-back homeowner. Not only does mold affect your personal health and safety, but it can also directly impact the value of your property.
Left unchecked, mold can infest drywall and floorboards that require replacing large sections of your property, and those repairs could end up costing you beyond the initial bill or make it practically impossible to sell on the market.
With DRY EXPERT you can now get rid of this problem and drastically increase the value of your home.
