There is a damp problem in my Dad's 1960s build ground floor maisonette. There is a very musty smell (not so much a typical damp smell) and in the hallway the walls are wet / damp about 6 inches up from the floor. The other rooms that have an external wall smell musty but there is no physical evidence of damp on walls that the eye can see.
I have called for two local damp specialists in his local area (birmingham) to come and diagnose problem and offer solution. I thought that it would be rising damp and could be rectified by chemical injection. However, after reading some postings I am now confused as to whether this chemical damp coursing would work.
Can anyone advise what I should be asking the damp specialists when they come to the property?
Many thanks
Sarah
