Hi I was wondering if anyone can give me some advise? In june I had a flood. The brook at the back of my house burst its banks and came in threw my back door. All downstairs was flooded half way up the skirting boards. It was left for 3 days before my insurance company got someone to rip up my carpets.
They did everything they should, knocking the plaster off halfway up the walls. They put 2 dehumidifiers in the kitchen for the whole downstairs. They left these in for 2 weeks then they said the walls were dry. They plasterd and decorated and we were back in our house end of august.
But now we have damp coming threw the walls at the bottom near the skirting boards.
I have had the company up that delt with it but they are coming up with excuses like what do I mop my floors with, and do I know that my house has shifted when I'm in the middle of a block of 6. I think they are evan goingt to say to my insurance company that its because of my hanging baskets outside because I saw them taking photos of them.
I just was to know does anyone think that they have plasterd over damp brick? And does anyone know how I can deal with this problem?
Thanks
