I have a bungalow built on a hill. It has a block and timber (suspended on block work) foundation.
I can crawl around easily underneath. All is dry EXCEPT at the back where some water seeps through in very wet weather. This then causes smell of damp and condensation in one small bedroom.
My idea to overcome this is rather than try to add a concrete base to raise the level-hard to access etc-is to fix plastic sheeting beneath the wooden floor boards. So long as there are no gaps at then this would prevent damp getting into the room and condensation etc.
The area beneath the floor is vented and dries out and there is a distance of about 3 feet between the wet base area and the floorboards.
Any thoughts most appreciated....
