Hello All,
Having an absolute nightmare! Over several years we have had black mould grow on the walls in certain areas in the house and we had an injected damp course put in to try and help with the problem. However this has not done anything. I have cleaned off the mould in all the rooms but it is an ongoing issue.
However the worst problem is downstairs. When we had the damp course done we had the wall hacked, damp course and then skimmed. We painted the wall and after a few weeks salt came through the walls and the paint bubbled off. I have left this like that for several years but recently went to redecorate. I scraped off the bubbled paint and salts and have repainted in one of the corners but the salt has come through again and bubbled through the paint. In the other corner of the room we have hacked off the plaster and replastered but the plaster isnt drying very well and is also cracking.
Can anyone help? I know nothing about diy, painting or building but am really worried about what to do as hoping to put the house on the market soon.
