Hi, I posted this in another section, but I think it was the wrong section, so sorry for reposting.
I live in a top floor flat. In the bedroom, there are damp marks on one wall which are circular in shape, halfway down the wall.
They appear when it is raining and disappear over time. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix the problem?
It was raining this morning and the damp spots have returned to the inside wall. The damp spots are always at the same place, I can only assume that it is getting through the brickwork (although I may be wrong as I am no expert, but the spots are always appearing at the same place!!)
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is this causing long term damage to the brickwork?
2. How would I go about fixing this?
3. Would it be ok to use a waterproof sealant paint on the inside walls to prevent the damp spots from appearing? If this is ok, would the dampness just evaporate away from the outside? Would doing this cause any long term damage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
