Hi,
I have a detached house built in the mid 70's in Galway.
There is a lot of condensation on the windows in the mornings and signs of dampness on some of the internal walls.
I am planning to pump the walls and insulate the attic but I am just wondering if I would be better to wait and have the house assessed by a damp proof specialist first.
I had a look at other threads and Advanced Damp Proofing appear to come highly recommended but they seem to cover the Dublin area only.
Any advice or recommendations of a similar company in Galway area would be also appreciated.
I was also thinking of purchasing the EcoAir Classic MK5 dehumidifier to try and remove some of the excess water in the air.
The house is rented. I have given the normal advice on window opening and use of fans etc but I know myself I would be reluctant to leave windows open in cold weather.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Priscilla
