Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong section feel free to move it moderators.
We live in a Victorian terrace, there is a big damp patch on the chimney breast in the dinning room at the top, I borrowed a damp meter reader and tested the chimney and the one up stairs and I can not find the direction this would be coming from. The problem is the chimney breast ends in the loft so it is a unusable chimney so I have no idea where this dampness is coming from. What I have found though that is when the builders would have taken the stack down from the room they have just left all the bricks and what ever else in the inside of the chimney.
I have had a look at the roof this seams fine no major leaks or anything so my worry is that for some reason there is some sort of damp in the chimney itself how can this be and can any one please help.
Kind regards
