Hi Guys,
I bought a 1900's house and had a Wren kitchen installed.
One wall had a fake wall added to straighten out the back wall. Recently I've noticed a musty\moldy smell coming from the cupboards along that wall.
I also noticed that the extractor fan does not extract, it just recirculates air in the kitchen.
My kitchen has a high humidity (averages the 80's and frequently 99% humidity on my Digital Thermo-Hygrometer)
I do open the kitchen window... thats when humidity sinks to the 80's.
Id like to reduce the humidity in the kitchen by getting the extractor fan to extract air outside.
Id also like to do something about the musty \ moldy smell coming from the cavity wall.
What would my best options be?
Along with getting the extractor fan to extract outside.
Im also considering a solar powered Exhaust fan to ventilate the cavity to sort out the musty \ moldy smell
Is there anything else I should be considering?
How much should I budget for this work?
