Bathrooms produce large bursts of moisture. The key question is whether extraction clears that moisture quickly or whether water is entering from plumbing or failed seals.
These patterns are useful starting points, not diagnoses on their own.
A single local patch that grows independently of shower steam can point to a leak rather than ordinary condensation.
Bathrooms create short, intense humidity peaks, so extraction performance and drying time matter.
Check whether the extractor actually vents outdoors, how long it runs after showers, silicone/grout condition, plumbing leaks and whether mould is confined to cold surfaces.
Compare the symptom with rain, showers, cooking, laundry, overnight occupancy and heating. The room tells you where to investigate; it does not prove the cause.
Start with what changes in this room before jumping to a whole-house diagnosis.

Only products that support the investigation or an appropriate fix are shown here. An active leak or building defect still needs repairing.
Products here are contextual aids. They are not presented as cures for active leaks, rain penetration or building defects.
DampDeck only surfaces products that make sense for this stage of the investigation. Products do not replace diagnosis or repair of an active leak.
