  • Converted cellar – Mould/Fungus wood problem?

    We had a cellar converted 3 years ago in to a kitchen, utility area and snug area for Jnr FD.

    About 6 months ago we got a untreated wooden pine toy house Jnr FD and within a month it had like a green mould on it, which smelt quite strong.

    I cleaned it up (just wiped off) and it appeared fine for 2-3 months. However now, it is going green again. Also the pine doors in the cellar are starting to go green too, but only at the bottom.

    I cant work out if its a mould/fungus that is spreading or if it is just the fact that we need to ventilate the cellar more.

    Any ideas?

    You did have it tanked?

    Edit: assuming you did, then there should be a warranty with the work – give them a call.

    Yep it was tanked, no visible signs of damp any where though, just the untreated pine.

    get someone in with a moisture meter and get the tanking checked.

    could be moist air from the rest of the house settling in the cellar and then condensing.

    Maybe just get a dehumidifier in there – they cost pennies to run.
