Hi,
we have the following problem. In our children's room, we had mold growth in the corners last year, which we simply wiped away with Domestos. Unfortunately, we recently noticed another infestation, so I took a closer look at the whole situation. However, I am not an expert. I noticed that on the ceiling along the entire width of the window wall, about 30 cm into the room, the ceiling "looks damp," meaning it is significantly darker than the rest of the ceiling. Additionally, I can peel off the ceiling paint there!!
When touching these spots, they are also considerably cooler than the normally looking parts of the ceiling. I then informed the landlord. He said I should remove the mold with alcohol and wait for the next rain to see what happens. In the corners of the window wall, we only have 12 degrees Celsius; otherwise, the room is normally tempered (about 20-22 degrees) and we have a humidity of about 45-55 in winter. How should I proceed now, or how can I prove that the problem is not ventilation and heating but, as I suspect, moisture or massive cooling from the outside. It may be worth mentioning that the roller shutters are in a simple wooden box that is not insulated at all.
I hope for helpful tips.
Best regards
