We have a large basement/cellar with vaulted ceilings, its an amazing space but suffers from lots of damp. My dehumifier removes a good litre of so a day of water from the air.
I want to make it a livable, useable space but I hate the idea of tanking. I'd like to explore the possibility of using airflow to make it liveable and wanted suggestions/advice on how best to approach it.
I have in my mind's eye installing a ventilation system that pulls air through the back of some wainscotting which will effectively wick the water away from the walls and remove moisture. Has anyone had an experience of this? I saw a thread with a similar idea and some good suggestions with using roof battens etc.
Could it work on floor to ceiling panelling on a large basement?
