Hi,
We have a wall that's attracting condensation in the house, on the other side of that wall is a disused chimney stack that's been sealed at the top and has an air brick at the bottom
I know it's condensation because the colder it gets the worse it is, my question is what to do about it.
What I don't understand is the wall on the outside can't be that cold, it has an extra layer because it's got the chimney stack mounted to it, there is also air flow in there because of the air brick so what best to try first?
I can cover the air brick to prevent cooler air entering to see if that improves it if it does I can see if I can get it filled with insulation?
Anyone else had a similar issue and managed to resolve it or understand the science behind it?
Thanks
