1910s victorian mid terrace here.
I've got a damp room downstairs, the symptoms of damp are showing up on the chimney breast and the bottom of the walls either side of it.
Here are some pics I've taken, I think its salts causing this on the walls, rusting the plaster beading, flaking some of the paint and rotting the skirting boards. But what has thrown me is that this morning the floorboards in one corner, which werent even touching the wall have got wet. Cant figure out why
Any one able to say if its salts for sure?
And if so, I think I'll go down the route of salt neutralising solution, batten leaving a small gap and plasterboard/skim over?
Thanks
