Humidity and paint do not go hand in hand. In other words, when interior house paints are affected by humidity they show up a wide range of telltale signs, none of which is a treat to watch. Whenever these signs show up, you must look for the best solutions from the residential painters of your locality. On this page, let us discuss the most common signs of humidity damage of residential paints.
Brown Spots or Streaks on the Paint
One of the most common signs of humidity damage to residential painting in Brisbane is the appearance of light brown spots and streaks of liquids running down on the surface. These are known as surfactant leaching. This takes place as and when there is too much moisture in the air and affects comparatively fresher paints, more so the ones that have had hardly any chance to settle down properly.
Bubbling or Peeling Paint
At times, you will find that the paint on the walls of your home is either bubbling or peeling off straight away. This is called painting blistering. This happens if and when there is excessive moisture, and it causes the paint to lose its surface adhesion. In other words, this indicates there is too much water vapour trapped underneath the paint, causing the paint to peel off from the surface.
When walls show this phenomenon, the only thing that the residential painters in Brisbane do is remove the entire paint from the surface, dehumidify the surface and apply a fresh coat of paint after the required surface preparation.
Occurrence of Mould and Mildew
Mould and mildew are pretty common as well as serious issues faced by paints due to humidity. This is something that should never be ignored. When the humidity level spikes up and there is hardly any ventilation in rooms for that excess moisture to escape, it causes mould and mildew to grow.
The Remedies
While these are the telltale signs that the indoor paint of your home has been affected by humidity in the air, there are several remedies as well, carried out by professionals who are into house painting in Brisbane or elsewhere.
As and when the interior paint of your home starts to show signs of humidity damage, the first and foremost step to take is to contact a frontline painting service near your location. The first thing that these professionals will do is to find out the source of that excess humidity and address it. Once that source has been identified and addressed they will then professionally repair the damage using all their experience and acumen.
Though your entire home may be influenced by excessive humidity, which affects the interior painting of the entire home, your bathroom, kitchen and laundry area are the potential source of that humidity. That is why you need to have a strict vigil on these three spaces to ensure they do not turn out to be a potent source of paint spoilage.
