Endgrain capillarity does not mean the penetration is even. Plus there is no evidence that damp is coming up, so the bottom of joists may well remain drier.
LOL. I am referring to another thread.sure he said ‘I have a 1970’s house’
Can’t think why they’d have built it using 60 year old timbers.
And pre-war poly beads maybe. the porous type.LOL. I am referring to another thread.
But perhaps they did use a job lot of pre-war timbers.
no chance . I refuse to believe mankind is actually that stupid. Although they did see fit to fill walls with wool. So , show us a picture.IIRC, back in 1970, they used to fill the cavity up to DPC level with concrete. To resist crushing of the wall by ground pressure, I think.
noam assuming this could cause issues in the DPC area?
Could a leak in/over a wall saturate all the bricks, with the damp course stopping the water getting to the ground? That could explain it ... water pooling above the DPC ...
Just throwing an idea in.
