Peeling paint - frozen on the walls?

Does anyone know what happens to latex paint on plaster walls when the house is vacant and no heat is on. Could this cause up to 5 layers of old paint to peel right off the walls or is this something else.

Condensation on the walls could cause the latex to delaminate over time..


Was it properly primed and sealed originally?? That would do it.


Is there latex over oil? That would do it too.


Normally a bit of cold is no problem, but moisture or FROST would have an effect.Peeling paint - frozen on the walls?
sorry to say its something else

ps im a lic painting / drywall contractor

Moisture can indeed cause this it doesn't have to be a 'water leak'.
moisture got behind the walls
