Wet wall advice needed please.

Phil3822

Hi all

I have a single skin brick utility. In this utitlity there is a washing machine, dishwasher and a toilet. There is a door and small windown. I often come down in the morning and the wall is wet. The little window is always open but there is no heating. Normally I think it is wet once the dishwasher has been on overnight. The dishwasher does get very hot.

I am not sure how to solve the problem. I have a dehumidifier which is helping however I am after a more permanent solution. I had thought about installing an extractor fan however I though having the window open an inch or so would have done what any extractor would do??

I had also though about putting a small oil filled heater in there but again not certain if this would work.

Comments and advice would be great.

Anyone got any advice?

It may be condensation forming on the cold walls, after you have used the dishwasher, as you say the d/w gets very hot. You could think about insulating the walls (inside or outside) depends whether you have enough space to consider this.
Sorry, that's all I can think of.

Open window a little more? or would this pose a burgulary threat? Does it do this in summer as well as winter?

Only in the summer and I cannot open window further. It's a small window with one opening. Thanks for help so far.
