After a renovation, you see your home differently. If condensation or a damp patch appears, an overview of the work helps you prepare for a useful conversation with a specialist.
Put the events in order
Make a short renovation timeline. Record when windows, insulation, plaster or ventilation were changed and when the problem was first noticed. Include the affected rooms and photos.
A clear timeline helps you ask questions without automatically assuming that one particular change caused the problem. Mention whether the issue was visible before the work as well.
Include ventilation in the discussion
Vlaanderen.be points out that renovation involving insulation can close off existing air openings. Controlled air supply, circulation and extraction therefore deserve attention in the renovated home. Read the guidance on ventilation during renovation.
- Which openings or ventilation provisions have changed?
- Has the operation of the system been explained?
- Have the use and layout of the rooms changed?
- Which handover and maintenance documents are available?
Ask for a well-supported next step
Identify the area you want assessed and the information already available. Ask how the proposed inspection relates to your observations and what additional information is needed.
