Lived in my Bungalow for 27 years, built in 1969 according to Deeds,
Always have faint musty smell to carpets around most floor edges of the house.
Never any water noticed.
When we moved in 27 years ago some of the thermal tiles were lifting from the bitumen, particularly around the edges.
We ripped up all the tiles, then painted the floors with garage paint.
This paint is still as sound as it was when we painted it to the floor 27 years ago.
Can I take it this is a sure sign we have a dpm installed. I don't see it keying in to the dpc behind the skirting BTW.
I guess the paint would have flaked off by now if there was moisture rising up through the floor?
Am I right?
Cheers
