Mold and condensation will disappear forever: what absorbs moisture well in the cellar
05.04.2024 15:10
High humidity in the cellar is a common problem.
If nothing is done about the high humidity, mold will eventually appear, which can pose a serious danger.
Therefore, it is worth figuring out what materials should be used to get rid of moisture in the cellar, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Clay bricks
They have excellent absorbent properties and can be an effective solution for combating humidity in the cellar.
They absorb excess moisture from the air, but it is important to remember that the effect is preventative and you should definitely not expect a miracle.
Charcoal
Charcoal is also known for its absorbent properties.
It has the ability to absorb moisture and odors, making it an excellent choice for improving cellar air quality and preventing mold.
Desiccants
The most popular ones include:
- silica;
- glycol;
- calcium chloride and others.
They absorb moisture from the surrounding air, helping to maintain optimal humidity levels.
You can't do without quality ventilation
Of course, if there is no good ventilation in the cellar, moisture will always accumulate inside.
Therefore, in most situations it makes sense to be rational. Until ventilation is done, fighting mold and high humidity is pointless.
Insulation and sealing
Good insulation and sealing will help prevent moisture condensation on the walls and ceiling of the cellar.
This can be achieved by installing insulation and sealing materials such as polystyrene foam or mineral wool. There are many options, but here it is always worth starting from the rational component.
