can damp and mould be caused by someones life stile?

Answer 1

If you are poor and cant afford heating its likely that your home will become damp, damp breeds fungus and moulds. Someone who can afford heating is also more likely to ventilate their home properly and to keep on top of any problem as it occurs;

Answer 2

Assuming you mean style and not part of a ladder.

Some aspects of your life style may make a situation worse, if you're using an unventilated tumble drier for example.

The problem will be with the building, and without a survey it is difficult to say what the problem is, it may be rising from the ground due to bad or non existent damp course, the damp course being bypassed by something like soil piled against an outside wall..
The damp could come from above if your gutters or roof integrity is compromised, thus if your life style includes not maintaining your property then that could be a major cause.....

Answer 3

Usually it is due to the materials used to build the house that dont take day to day life these days aswell as it did many years ago. Houses werent over warm then and outside air travelled through well. Ventilation in bathrooms wasnt a problem then due to the fact that bathing back then wasnt as frequent as what we bath now. Central heating and double glazing can cause condensation wich amounts to damp. Houses with secondary or no type of secondary or double glazing have healthy walls, which are allowed to 'breathe' so to say. Over crowded samll rooms are also prone due to the lack of air and space in the room, with the addded fact of heating in the house = condenstaion = damp. The life style of any particular person is not the result of damp.

Answer 4

When you neglect damp spots in your bath room, or anywhere else, this can cause mould. And mould can be dangerous. So if you are lazy or dont know how to fix things, I guess mould is a result of your life style.

Answer 5

Lack of ventilation will cause condensation build ups and water saturation of the building fabric - moulds love this.

Open the window, fit a fan to remove water vapour from the shower/bath area. Dry clothes outside if you can and ventilate the kitchen when cooking. Remember gas fires (portable type) kick out a bunch of vapour.

Answer 6

yes if your drying clothes indoors and the builing has poor ventilation
