Hi, Ive been reading the post about rising damp not existing with great interest. I've just had a survey done on my own house, the surveyor has recommended that the person who is interested in buying my house, have someone come out and inspect it.
When I moved in, the wall paper in the kitchen (where the surveyor said there might be damp) had gone slightly green. I removed it and the plaster behind it was moldy and greenish. I had the walls replastered and I've since wall papered.
The surveyor used some sort of electrical device about 2 foot up to measure, I believe, the moisture in the walls.
If rising damp doesn't exist, then what was the meter picking up? And what is the damp expert gonna say?
Thanks for any help
