 21/03/2019##  Keep it breezy and stop condensation

Almost every condensation problem occurs in rooms that are poorly ventilated or not ventilated at all. The solution? [An electric ventilation system](https://protector.be/index.php?Itemid=792&lang=en): quick to install and effective in preventing serious damage.

### More dangerous than you think

You’ve probably experienced it: after a hot shower, you can no longer see yourself in the mirror. The water vapour condensed on the much colder mirror surface, eventually turning back into water. Condensation is not as harmless as it seems – moisture not only damages your walls but can also affect your health.

The first signs are visible on the walls. Are there black spots in the corners? That’s condensation moisture settling on your walls, creating [damp patches](https://protector.be/index.php?Itemid=789&lang=en) where [mould](https://protector.be/index.php?Itemid=784&lang=en) thrives. It’s time to take action!

#### Condensation often occurs in bathrooms but can also affect basements

### Electric ventilation system

Damp spots? Mould? Avoidable, because an efficient treatment takes little time and effort. Hire a professional moisture control company. They will inspect your space and identify ventilation sources. Tiny draft holes in your walls often make a big difference. But an electric ventilation system solves the problem immediately and permanently. It extracts indoor air, brings in fresh outdoor air, and purifies it through a built-in carbon filter.

### Also suitable for basements

Condensation is common in bathrooms but can also affect basements, which often lack windows for natural airflow. In these cases, small draft openings may be necessary to bring in fresh air.

If outside moisture penetrates your [basement walls](https://protector.be/index.php?Itemid=791&lang=en), it’s best to treat them with a specialised waterproof cement. When performed by a professional, treated walls and floors will keep moisture and condensation out permanently.
