I noticed a bit of a musty smell coming from my daughters bedroom as of late.
Nothing obvious so I pulled out the furniture and found this on the carpet. It was damp to the touch so I’ve cut it out and sprayed it with mould killer. In the process of letting it dry out.
Now - what is it and how did it get there?
It runs the precise length of an IKEA unit and there’s no sign of any other issues anywhere in the room.
In terms of what outside looks like - there’s another picture attached (the white stuff is ant powder and not efflorescence).
I’ve measured where the main spot was in the room to the outside wall and taken a picture of roughly there.
I definitely have a DPC, and it’s definitely not bridged.
It’s a solid concrete floor construction (no DPM under the concrete) with a cavity wall. There are no pipes in the floor at all.
