Hi Guys,

Any horror stories from the pumped wall insulation, i.e Dampness or has this been put to bed yet as scaremongering...........

We had it done to the house not to long ago there and no problem at all with the insulation, works a treat.

Only had it done a few months ago, house is definately warmer, but.. condensation has increased especially on colder nights. Not sure if this is because double glazing is sh1t (10 yr old). All rooms have wall vents.

Check that the wall vents are not blocked with the insulant.

thanks,

Is the condensation on the walls or windows?
I take it that this condensation is "new" as in was not there before the walls were pumped?..................

I appreciate your honest replys, I read about some issues myself a while back that were posted by a builder that had to go to try and fix the issues (damp patches) in some of his builds,,......
