Hi all,
We've been in our property for about 8 months and about 4 months ago noticed these damp spots on the wall next to our patio doors:
(sorry terrible photo, taken for something else, but it's actually where I noticed the damp spots!)
We have had a damp specialist over and he seems to think it's condensation but I'm not convinced. We have sealed all the pointing directly next to the particular wall to make sure it's not rain coming in from the outside. The wall itself sounds hollow-ish and I think it has plasterboard on it.
We have tried painting over the patched with PVA glue and they disappear for a few days and then work their way through.
Could anyone shed any light on what it might be? I'm not sure if there any pipes worked in behind the wall, but even if there were would a leak make damp spots like these?
Many thanks in advance!
Ana
