How To Cure Damp in Bedroom - Damp Sam REACTS To Dereton33 

Thanks for this your video help me with explaining to my local council in Greenwich with the property that I moved into where I had mould and condensation issues I had a damp survey done pacifier air vents installed and I have no more problems !! Thank you 😃👍

I did what the plumber chap did and it stopped the damp problems in my bedroom, I open it during the day and close it at night , I think Sam over analysed this problem and has dug himself into a hole 👍

I'd say it could work however the cold will also go into the cavity and chill the outside wall further, potentially causing more condensation.

I’ve had some damp issues upstairs which we’ve put down to old roof was leaking bad and really soaked the house , they stuck a new roof on which seems great but didn’t give the walls any time to dry out prior to reskimming poorly over all the old walls they didn’t even remove the old soaked hard wall or plaster , on inspection the house seemed fine and had been sat empty for 18 months and had no issues , we come along whacked a whole new heating system in new rads etc and with in a few weeks the damp started showing , it never got worse , at the minute we’ve stripped back to brick work in the effected places and allowed to dry out which it seems to do be doing , the bottom floor and second floor has vents on the chimney stacks the 3rd floor doesn’t and seems to be in the places it’s effected , for now am just going to leave it to see if it dries out better and keep monitoring with a damp meter but we’ve been told to vent it , watched all your videos great content great that experts like yourself share your valuable experience with the world 👍

I think it’s just a cold spot and needs treating with antifungal paintAnd it also looks like the window is misted up on the outside not the inside so hard to tell

Don’t block airflow vents you’re just trapping in moisture.

Link to face book group ? I dont see it.

Easier to retrofit a trickle vent on the window and a neater job.

He's in dawlish, Devon

Also get in the loft and check the insulation I bet it’s missing on that point of the ceiling

Is that passive vent you mentioned ok to fit to help condensation

A bit cheap copy someone else’s video and trashing it. I think you’re probably right but make your own video on how to fix the problem, from scratch. Northern plain speaking != rude. Plus plenty of your videos have you bunging in a solution and you don’t show if it’s worked in a year’s time.

good video again sam ! could you stick thermal boards with acrylic ? or do you need instastik with it ?

Bloody hell Simon tek that spoon art o that cup or it’ll have thee eye art!

much rather have simple cost effective solution than overhyped and over-priced 'damp' products. thermal paint on old cold walls. never dry clothes indoors. warm wet rooms before showers n baths . keep all doors closed near showers n baths. open a window once a day unless obv -10. 99% of 'damp' probs are wet ingress probs - drains splashing down against outside walls, faulty gutters etc. stop the water / condensation and voila! damp solved

Looks like harry Enfield

Hi Sam what are your thoughts on piv units to get rid of condensation

Haha...Al by trade is a former plumber

I’ve got a better cure, stop having rumpy pumpy in t’bedroom, owd lad. Works for me and our lass.

If you did your research youd know he lives in Dorset and he's been a plumber all his life! Stop the annoying sniffing!!
