First Floor Air Condtioner Causes Wall Upstairs To Bubble

How to fix ceiling condensation.

First floor air condtioner causes wall upstairs to bubble.

This difference will affect how hot each floor is and consequently cause your home air conditioning unit not to compensate properly for the heat upstairs. Condensation on your ceiling can cause water damage and promote the growth of mold or mildew. Should you see paint bubbling or blistering or brown spots appearing on a ceiling or wall it s time to begin the investigative process to find out. For that reason you should consider installing a thermostat on the second floor so that your central air conditioning unit can get a more precise reading of the floor s temperature.

Dry the wall surface with a fan heater then tape some kitchen foil tightly over the affected area. The other day notice a water spot in the vicinity of the two lines. If you re not sure of the cause of a damp patch on a wall try the foil test. Some people simply turn down their air conditioner but then utility bills climb and the first floor gets too cold while the upstairs is still too warm.

If the second story in your home is too hot and stuffy it s important to find a way to make this area more comfortable. If the paint on a wall or ceiling suddenly begin to bubble or peel off it s most often a sign of moisture. The most common cause of this headache is a leak in either the roof or plumbing system. I noticed two yellow lines in the kitchen ceiling about a foot long and theya re parallel to each other.
