Hi,
I'm trying to identify what is causing these marks on my skirting board (see picture below) and would appreciate any advice!
-- The skirting boards were changed about 6 months ago. There were no marks on the skirting board then. I don't know if the door frame on the left was buckling.
-- There was a box sitting in front of this area for about 5 months.
-- Then I moved the box and found these marks.
-- I assumed this was water leaking in via the door frame somehow and so put some sealant around the door frame on the outside.
-- No more marks appeared during December (which was pretty wet and cold). So I thought I'd solved it.
-- But then in the last couple of days a new patch appeared which I've circled in red. The rest of the mark really hasn't changed at all. I'm looking at photos of the mark I took a month ago and the outline is pretty much exactly the same.
As I say, I'd assumed that this was water leaking in, but it just seems odd that this new patch has appeared in the middle of the board and the rest of the marks are exactly the same. So I was wondering if there is something else going on?
The post on the left of the picture is a door frame going outside. On the outside there is some decking that is level with the floor. I've never seen under the decking so not sure what it looks like under there. The door frame goes under the decking.
Really appreciate any help/advice!
Thank you,
Antony
