Case Study: Solving Condensation Issues for Charlene in Motherwell
Client Background
Charlene, lives in Motherwell, had been struggling with persistent condensation issues in her property. Over the years, she noticed excessive moisture on her windows, damp patches on walls and occasional mould growth, particularly in the rooms where the walls are considerably colder.
