Hi,
Bought a house. Found rot and damp in the spare bedroom, traced it to the shower (we never used cos it looked gross). The bathroom backs onto the bedroom. Finally ripped the shower out and found the guy had used the corner of the room and tiled straight onto the plasterboard. The problem seems to be that the plasterboard on the back wall of the shower is a continuous piece that terminates 50cm or so into the bedroom. The damp has just travelled along it. The separating wall between bathroom and bedroom is pinning that plasterboard. How do I replace the rotten board? Should I replace it as a continuous piece again? Have I given you enough info?
Thanks,
Aid.
