Hi.
The back wall in my bedroom wardrobe used to be an external wall before an extension was added. We keep getting damp up the wall close to where it meets the side wall of the house. I put in a tube heater on a thermostat which has helped. I noticed the other day that there are crystals forming on the end of the heater. The house has blown fibre cavity wall insulation but I suspect this wall doesn't have any. It's a loft converted bungalow and the top of this wall is open to air from the eaves so does get cold in winter. My plan was to drill a series of holes and pump it full of expanding foam. However the presence of crystals forming suggest that this may be more than 1 problem. Help and advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
