Hello
there is a small corner in my room which is black due to rising damp. I have had a look and it appears the path outside is above the DPC. I have contacted our freeholder and he said he will get this fixed but nothing has been done as yet. I am currently fixing the room up and would like to get the skirting board down but with the damp in the one corner I am worried it will eventually effect the new skirting board. I don't want to hold up works any longer and would like to get the skirting down now so Is there anything I can do to the skirting board just in case the damp does effect it eventually?
