We've got a ground floor wall, vinyl paper covering, I did think it had a problem with rising damp. I've now discovered the concealed toilet cistern on the other side has been leaking for some years when flushed. The Wall is now drying out.
The question is can it just be skimmed over and repainted? Or will it need to be taken to brick. the Plaster is pretty sound. Half of the wall is stud partition, half is a solid wall. I'm likely going to reboard the part which is stud as years of water going into it can't be much good. The brick portion of the wall, the plaster is sound.
Many thanks!
