Abstract
Fungal problems arise when there are water problems. This will be the case after calamities such as floods and also when condensation of water occurs inside the house due to a cold bridge. However, even when these calamities do not happen, it is still remarkably difficult to maintain an entirely fungus free house. Bathrooms, for example are notorious for the development of fungi to such an extent that their presence seems to be the rule and not the exception.
