hello all
im having a few issues at the moment with water ingress into my conservatory its a lean to style with single block walls
some months ago i noticed some blowing of paint with plaster salts behind at the top of the left wall which is block with dot and dab plasterboard
when i bought this house the conservatory was newish but.. the external walls where bare breeze block which i have had rendered 9 months is ago
at first i thought the damp could be trapped moisture from when the blocks wear left open to the elements trying to escape and thought i would look into it later
recently my lighting in the conservatory went POP during sunday lunch after a few tests it was clear there was a break in the cable so pulled up my floor ran some new cables ect and thought time to tackle the damp wall while im making a mess
the lead looks fine however the coping stones im not sure about some have a fine green line in the morter joints and one is nearly loose could this be the cause ? should ther not be something under them to stop this happening other than the lead which looks like it starts halfway from the blocks then down to the roof
or could it just be trapped moisture?
