    Yeah it's supplied from the pipes behind. We have a road behind our house (very small courtyard size garden) so mains comes from there.

    Damp on internal wall?

    You talking about old pipes that aren't in use any more? Water supply comes in from our kitchen and we use to have old CH pipes under the ground but they were made redundant and they all run above ground now. The floor was tested for moisture last year and it passed as dry

    Damp on internal wall?

    I wondering if cutting down those metal beads would help in some way... worth a try I guess. No appliances like that near these walls for me though.

    Damp on internal wall?

    Yeh I'm a bit unsure too... if it wasn't and just contamination, would I just need to sand it all back, prime and repaint?

    Damp on internal wall?

    I can't work this out but we seem to have what seems to be damp on an internal wall corner between our living room and dining room. It's no where else in the house so I can't work out why there would be damp here. The wall used to divide two rooms but in the past was knocked through to open up...
