Hi
I am hoping that someone may be able to advise or re-assure me!!
A couple of days ago I noticed a damp mark along the mortar between my brick course and the raft foundation. I didnt think much of it considering all the icy and damp weather we have had lately.
The following day the damp mark had formed a small puddle that has seeped out (I have included some photos).
My question is where could this moisture be coming from?? It is not a large quantity but enough to concern me.
My house is twenty years old built on a raft foundation. I have not noticed this type of thing before and the rest of the brickwork and raft appears to be normal.
I don't have any leaks (that I know of) inside the house , and my mains water pressure is as good as ever.
I am really confused to what this could be. Somebody has told me that it could simply be condensation that has formed between the raft slab and dpm and that it is just seeping out - this is what I hope it is and nothing more sinister!!
If anybody has any suggestions or advice I would be extremely grateful.
Regards
Simon
