Why Mould is So Common in Cavan Town – And What You Can Do to Stop It
If you live in Cavan Town and feel like you’re constantly battling damp, you’re not alone. From autumn through spring, the air feels heavier, the walls colder, and condensation becomes part of daily life.
Let’s explore why mould is so common in Cavan homes, what causes it, and most importantly — how to stop it before it damages your health or home.
Is Mould Really That Big of a Problem in Cavan?
Yes — and it’s getting worse. Ireland’s climate is naturally humid, but Cavan Town’s inland location, regular rainfall, and long damp winters create a perfect storm for mould growth.
Combine that with:
-
Older homes with solid walls
-
Poor ventilation (especially in bathrooms and bedrooms)
-
Newer builds that are airtight but trap moisture inside
…and it’s no wonder so many homes from Drumalee to Butlersbridge are reporting black patches, musty smells, and condensation on windows year-round.
What Does Mould Actually Do?
Mould isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a health hazard.
According to the HSE, mould exposure can trigger:
-
Asthma and breathing problems
-
Chronic coughs or sinus issues
-
Allergic skin reactions
-
Sleep disruption and fatigue
Left untreated, it can also cause long-term damage to plaster, timber, and even insulation inside your walls.
How Does Mould Start?
All mould needs is:
-
Moisture (from leaks, condensation, or humidity)
-
Lack of airflow (especially behind furniture or in corners)
-
Warmth (which most homes generate naturally)
We often see mould starting in places like:
-
Bathroom ceilings
-
Window sills
-
Inside built-in wardrobes
-
Behind sofas or beds near external walls
-
Under poorly ventilated stairs
Even new homes in Killygarry, Ballinagh, and Crossdoney are affected — especially if they’re sealed tight without adequate ventilation.
How Can You Prevent Mould in Your Cavan Home?
Here are some simple, effective steps:
✅ Ventilate every room daily — even just 10 minutes of airflow helps
✅ Use extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens
✅ Keep furniture slightly away from walls to avoid trapped air
✅ Dry clothes outside or in well-ventilated rooms
✅ Check for leaks under sinks and around windows
✅ Use a dehumidifier if your home feels humid
But if mould is already growing — prevention won’t be enough. That’s where professional help makes all the difference.
What If the Mould Keeps Coming Back?
That’s the most common complaint we hear.
Most DIY mould sprays only tackle surface growth. They don’t deal with spores in the air, moisture inside walls, or hidden colonies behind plasterboard.
If you’ve cleaned the same patch more than once and it keeps returning, it’s time for professional mould removal in Cavan Town.
