Peeling Due to Moisture
 

 

Description:
Loss of adhesion of the paint film caused by high levels of moisture which penetrate the film and eventually push the film away from the substrate.

Possible Cause:
• Excessive moisture in a home caused by cooking, showering or any other means which would place moisture in the air such as use of a humidifier, vaporizer or hot tub.

• Excessive moisture in a home due to a high level of humidity in the basement and/or foundation.

Solution:
• Proper ventilation can fix most interior moisture problems. High moisture areas such as bathrooms with showers should have exhaust fans installed.
• Proper ventilation in the walls and/or roof of the home may be necessary. Heavily insulated homes need a means for moisture to escape such as roof vents and possibly outside wall vents.
• Allowing moisture to escape via open windows can also be an option.
• If high levels of moisture/humidity exist in a basement, the cause of this must be determined and fixed.
• Once proper ventilation has been installed, peeling paint should be removed and the underlying surface cleaned and primed.
