Hi
We have just bought a new house which was originally built in 1939. There are two relatively new single storey extensions to the front of the house. On the inside of these extensions the skirting board is rotten and crumbles.
It appears the damp proof course has been put in at ground level - ie, level with the ground outside is the same level as the floor inside the house. I'm thinking the DPC should be placed about two bricks higher.
What do I do to resolve the issue?
Many thanks
