hi guys,
Even though i have had a damp course done a couple of years ago, i have found a growing problem with a damp/dark l-shaped patch on the corner of my interior wall. After investigating, we found that the damp is possibly due to the exterior higher ground level of my neighbour's property touching my wall.
After speaking to the neighbour, even though we don't see eye to eye, I told him that his ground level is causing damp issues and although he won't pay a penny towards remedifying the problem, he has said that i'm okay to go ahead with any repairs, so long as i don't dig too far into his ground level.
I'm hoping someone can give me a suggestion as to what i can do???
I was thinking would breaking away a few inches into the corner of his ground, so that my wall has no ground touching it solve the problem?
