As a result of the last thermography today, the ceiling on the upper floor was opened. The evaluation team had indeed made to further leakage. The damage not to make it bigger than it already is, but the flooring in the loft has been partially opened to the whole view from above. And, surprise: More mold ...
The first stop is at the vent in the sanitary area:
to see in the picture is the open floor and the gray-clad vent pipe. In this area was in the terminal the vapor barrier is not properly prepared and thus able to warm, moist air from the bathroom including escape upwards. The moisture is then immediately condenses on the cold wall and mold formed (on the wall behind the pipe).
another unpleasant surprise then did a few yards further on. In the area of the purlins, a critical point are, and so there was also opened to the floor. And what came to Vorschein? Genau, Schimmel...
An dieser Stelle ist die Diagnose anscheinend nicht so einfach, da direkt kein Loch in der Folie zu sehen war. Allerdings kommen hier mehrere Indizien zusammen: Eine Dusche befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe und die Stoßkanten der Dampfsperre sind in diesem Bereich verklebt...
Diese Stoßkanten wurden dann nochmal nachgeklebt, der Bodenbelag ausgetauscht und nun warten wir auf eine Kontrolle durch den Gutachter bei der nächsten Thermographie.
this shows clearly that a stock blower-door test just says nothing about building physical defects. Without thermography these defects had not found this one so quickly. And if they do, only if the damage is much greater. The few hundred Euro are usually a good investment if you want to be sure.
To be continued ...
