Not sure which section to put this.
We have a 1930s house, solid brick walls.
I am struggling to control the humidity and mould. We have a dehumidifier, on almost all the time and removing 5+ litres of water a day.
Yet the humidity gauge won't get below 60-70%
I don't understand what is happening.
Nothing is wet to the touch, but we get mould in some corners of rooms. We also get condensation on the bedroom windows on cold mornings, unless the dehumidifier is in the room with us.
We open windows when it's dry outside to let air in, we keep the trickle vents open, we open windows and use extractor when showering and cooking, and there are airbricks in all three bedrooms upstairs and in the kitchen downstairs which are not blocked.
There's only two of us here plus dog. We don't dry washing inside unless it's wet outside, and we're using the dehumidifier almost 24/7.
