Damp

by Druf » Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:56 pm

Hi

I have bought a ground floor flat built in 1975. It is in a block of four. The 2 flats to the left are offset by being back by about 5 feet. At the back the person before had put the ground level 2 bricks above the dampcourse. I have removed all this and it is now 2 bricks below. I have been away for a week and of course it has poured with rain. The tenent has said that the wall between his flat and next door has damp on the internal wall. I checked and it is spreading along the skirting and up the corner if the outside wall and the internal wall.It has jumped to the wardrobes and clothes are getting damp.

Any ideas

Thanks
