Mildew growing on painted walls — Larnaca, Larnaca
Dark spots or fuzzy patches on painted interior walls — especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements — indicate mildew growth caused by excess moisture. A painter can kill the mildew, apply mildew-resistant primer, and repaint with mold-inhibiting paint, while recommending ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Larnaca
External paint cycles in Larnaca run 5–7 years rather than 10–15, due to intense UV plus combined coastal salt-air and salt-lake humidity exposure. Interior repaint demand is concentrated in the post-2022 buyer cohort upgrading older builder-grade finishes on freshly bought apartments. Salt humidity also raises mould-prevention prep work on north-facing walls.
