Cheers. Soffit is completely open full length left & right 6cm, shouldn't that be enough for most of the moisture to be released and not cause any issues like damp/mold...? Everything is rendered externally and painted except front wall (rendered internally) which sometimes has wet patches...

Do I need a VLC if I put 20cm of fiberglass behind duplex plasterboards? 10cm gap between fiberglass & outer walls.

Building a timber music studio room in a single brick/breeze block garage, to act as a double wall (photo below). 30-50cm distance between the outer wall and inner studs - big cavity because of soundproofing technique as advised on music studio forums. Insulation in between with 10cm air gap +...

So basically lowering ground to expose the slab would be first thing to try. Thanks!

Not sure if I understand - wouldn't an exterior barrier keep water outside and prevent damp from happening?

What do you mean by properly? There is no problem on the side of the windows and gravel.

Yes, some. Ground is above the slab level on that side so I guess best to lower it and see if it resolves the issue. You wouldn't put any slurry, liquid rubber or membrane sheet on the edge externally?

Paving slabs are just on the ground, I could lower the ground and reset the sloping. DPC is 1 course above ground level, not sure if there is any membrane in the slab.

There is a puddle on the paving by the wall on one side - slight ground slope making it worse. Guttering is all good except there is no guttering at the back where the problem is present as well. Side with the windows and gravel is fine.

Hi there, Single skin breeze block garage, rendered outside. Leaking tiny bit on the bottom between floor and wall. Double block column sometimes wet which creates white fluffy mold. What would be the solution here? Cheers!
