kidley Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You most defiantly need a specialist for that, it could be any number of things why you have damp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qazitory Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Is it rented or Council, as you can ask them as Landlords? There could 1000s different reasons. Is something leaking? Are you drying clothes in the house? Have you got good enough ventilation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy266 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We have had an envirovent fitted a couple of years back, transformed the house. No damp, no condensation, no musty smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchcoll Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Will an envirovent work if fitted in a cellar? To keep moisture levels down? There is no problem in my house other than one kitchen wall that seems to suffer from moisture in the cellar rising up & getting trapped in the wall behind some kitchen cupboards/base unit. Next year I'll be replacing the kitchen but would like to solve the cause of the problem first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 You'd need to figure out why the cellar was damp in the first place really. There's no point trying to cure damp if you don't know why you have damp to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchcoll Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's a Victorian terrace house, I believe none of the cellars are bone dry. The timber joists & flooring was replaced, cellar walls treated & then a waterproof membrane (can't remember what it was called) was laid on the floor and concrete set on top. There was water rising up into the cellar from the floor until this was done. There were also two large air bricks fitted & I will be opening up the coal chute grate to increase air circulation too. I think most of the moisture is actually from humidity made worse by poor air circulation. Then possibly ground water affecting the walls towards the back of the cellar. The kitchen units creating a seal on the wall behind them probably isn't helping dispel any moisture either, which can be fixed when the new kitchen goes in. Would an Envirovent unit be of any use in removing moisture from the cellar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
