Hi,
My flat suffers from a very minor case of damp. I get severe
condensation on all windows (double glazed) and there's a slight
claminess to the walls and bedding. Also, powdered products (ie:
salt, sugar etc) in the kitchen cupboards go hard after a while. I've
noticed the problem seems worse at this time of year. anything shut
in storage cupboards can suffer from mould. Would a dehumidifier help
or is there another way, such as silica gel in the cupboards?
If the effected areas are all on outside walls, it may be
due to poor thermal insulation. This could be made worse
by poor (uneven) heating. What type of heating do you have?
It's on all walls (just a slight claminess) and all heating is storage
heaters.
