Hi there,
So you know, I am a complete novice in this area...
We have noticed a damp spot on the bedroom wall right next to the window. It stretches from about 1 metre to about 1.5 metres and from looking through the forum this height suggests rising damp. The wall is papered and the paper is lifting slightly. This is the only spot in the bedroom.
The 2nd spot is in the lounge room and it sort of looks like a growth of salt which rubbed away to expose what looks like pinkish coloured masonary (or is that plaster?). This is under a window just about the skirting board. The wall was painted.
So is all of this pointing to a large rising damp problem, two smaller problems, competely unrelated to each other.... Any suggestions would be much appreciated before I call in the "professionals".
Cheers
Stephen
