I have damp coming in underneath a shower tray and I'm fairly certain it's coming in from directly outside where there is a leak in the soil pipe which the shower and basin empty into directly outside (I can see water leaking from the pipe when the tap is on, it must be seeping through the wall.).
I can seal up the leak but I'm wondering if it's worth trying to prevent penetrating damp across this entire wall, as it's only single skin (albeit insulated on the inside) What might be the best method to achieve this? I've seen concrete plinths on a lot of older houses.
