Hi All,
I have a double detached garage which has a tile roof and the wall consists of single brick. The garage was built 5 years ago as part of a new build house and is mainly used for storage and a treadmill I have in there.
Over the winter season we noticed a lot of our items were either covered in mould or for example card board boxes would become "mushy" or lose their rigidity. I put in two dehumidifiers to help with the issue and it has but not really a long term solution especially as I would have to empty the dehumidifiers every day circa 1l capacity each. There is no signs of damp on the walls.
What are the recommendations to reduce moisture in the garage to prevent mould? Have no plan to turn it into a habitable space, just using the garage for storage mainly.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Jazz
