If necessary, treat all plaster with the anti-mold treatment supplied with the paint and then redecorate.

This meter helps you to control the conditions that cause condensation and to monitor the use of your heating, ventilation and dehumidification. Available in standard and large display versions
How to test damp walls and timbers Condensation forms on the coldest parts of your walls, floors and ceilings. If damp is entering from the outside or from a water leak it will make the damp areas colder and more prone to condensation, hence mould growth. Firstly, check the outside of the building for rainwater penetration - if the walls are absorbing moisture apply a water repellent - Dampseal - check your downpipes and gutters.

Can also be used to test damp floors and new concrete floors. (We also sell the Protimeter Range of products, including the Surveymaster.
