Hi all.
We have been noticing mould along one wall in our kitchen and when we lifted the vinyl the floor was soaked underneath it. There are central heating pipes running under that location so it was assumed we had a leak. The vinyl was laid directly onto of the concrete it has been suggested it could be trapped moisture. As I was covered for trace and access I got a company out to find the leak. The thermal came up with something so they started to dig but got to a few joins and the pipes go into my lounge that's why there was mass of heat. Anyway they had to stop as they came across some tiles that reassembled asbestos so had to stop. I am really stressed about this as no idea where to turn to insurance have only just passed it to a specialist team due to asbestos. And I am now unclear if there is a leak at all and could it be moisture trapped under the vinyl. Over the last week we have have had the vinyl lifted and it has started to dry out. I am expecting a report from the trace and access company.
The house was built in the 80s and there is a damp course and it is a tank gravity fed central heating so hard to tell with regards to pressure.
The damp was isolated to where the pipes run and branched out in front of it. The lino was stuck directly to the concrete floor with no underlay.
