Hi,
I've had this patch on the wall (its outside facing and chimney) for about 2 years. This is the worst that its been but when we got the property it just looked like condensation which is why I haven't done anything.
Its been covered by a potted plant for this duration so only noticed how bad it was in the last few days! Please note that this patch hasn't gotten any larger in size.
As the wall is external facing and the chimney has leaked in the past (leaky flashings that have since been fixed) I just wanted to get an impartial opinion before I start to get people coming in to give me a quote.
I think it might be something coming in through the walls as the it does need to be repointed and the drain is directly on the other side of that patch. I'll upload pics of the wall in the morning.
Is it worth me getting leak detection people in?
Any help is appreciated.
