The Usual Suspects: What Haunts Your Home in Winter
Every haunted house has its villains and when it comes to damp, your home is no different. Forget ghosts and ghouls; the real terrors are a little more… moisture-based.
Meet Condensation Carl, who loves warm showers and closed windows. He’s the one leaving misty messages on your bathroom mirror. Then there’s Leaky Larry, sneaking in through cracks and roofs whenever it rains. And, of course, the most feared of all, The Mould Monster, creeping silently into corners, feeding on forgotten damp patches, and leaving that telltale musty smell.
It sounds spooky, but here’s the plot twist: these aren’t supernatural forces — they’re just the side effects of winter weather and poor ventilation. The good news? You can outsmart them.
A little vigilance and a few mould prevention winter tricks go a long way. Fix those leaks early, keep your home ventilated, and treat suspicious spots before they grow teeth. Because when it comes to stopping damp walls UK style, it’s all about acting before the monsters move in.
