Hi,
I've got a storeroom which is slowly getting growing mould on lots of stuff. It's got breeze block walls, plus a concrete floor and has zero air circulation.
From reading on the forum I figured the first thing I'll do is put in a ventilation fan to start air moving through the room, plus wipe the existing mould off with diluted bleach.
But I also noticed that the concrete floor in one corner in particular appears quite damp. There is a drain sump below it on the other side of the floor/wall which has water in it. The water level is usually 1.5 -> 2 feet below the concrete floor level.
Is it a worry to see dampness coming thru the concrete? Should it be waterproof, or is this expected for something so close to a drain?
Thanks,
Far
