I need to know who I need to have check the house to find and fix the

Do you have high humidity, poor ventilation and/or bad vapour barriers
on the 'inside' (warm side) of the walls/ceilings of the house?

Recall a case where huband was continually painting clapboard siding
on outside of an older style house, with non breathable marine paint.
Which 'blistered' continually! No internal vapour barriers!

Wife was inside using latex paint, because easier to clean up, but
which is less or non effective as a vapour barrier.

In absence of vapor barriers to keep warm and therefore moist inside
air from permeating through the walls some types of non-latex (i.e.
oil paint) are said to be partially effective.

However with vapour barriers we have used permeable stain on pine and
cedar clapboard for some 50 years, with no peeling or paint bubbling
problems at all.
