- "Mistress, do you know why your toilet is so wet?"- I turned to a young woman of about 30 years old, fulfilling her request to replace the meters.
-"No, I do not know. I'm already tired of changing the rags under the pipes and the toilet, and the smell has already appeared, I don't know how to get rid of all this. " The client answered me in a complaint.
- "From dampness to dignity. knots may appear fungal formations on the walls, mold, and sometimes mucus which is very difficult to remove, and sometimes simply impossible. No drastic measures. "- I answered her and even scared her.
- "And what to do"- She asked me. Within five minutes I spent an educational program for her, she learned a lot, she wound up the information on "Us"
In short, I'll tell you what I know:
In order to get rid of unnecessary moisture, and as a result of unnecessary, harmful microorganisms on the walls and pipes, it is necessary to understand how condensation forms.
What is condensation?
This is moisture suspended in the air, being in a gaseous state, turning into a liquid state. Those. these are the very droplets on pipes or walls that precipitate at certain temperatures.
How to get rid of condensation?
Good ventilation required enclosed spaces, bathrooms, baths. If the air flows circulate well, then excess moisture will not accumulate in the premises. As a result, nothing will fall out.
Check the condition of the toilet bowl, if the tank leaks, then the water in it is constantly cold due to constant circulation. Does not have time to accept room temperature. Which leads to the formation of moisture on the faience white friend.
Insulation of pipes in thermal insulation materials (polyethylene foam) with a thickness of at least 20 mm, an option that can help. But not always. This material must be worn tightly and preferably without gaps. Thus, we transfer the "dew point" into the heat-insulating layer and moisture does not fall on the surface.
Seasonal phenomena. In summer, the air is very saturated with moisture, at least in my region. Therefore, condensation is more likely to form in the summer. And in winter, due to heating devices, the apartments are dry, which affects the absence of condensation in damp rooms. How to fight... Wait for summer)
After renovation in a dignity. nodes a strong formation of condensation is also possible, the walls give off excess moisture that can fall out on the pipes. You don't need to fight it. As the walls dry up, the "dew" will stop appearing.
As it turned out, my client had high humidity in the toilet due to a leaking cistern, on the same day I replaced her fittings, the problem went away.
I hope the information was useful to you and deserves a like.
