Moved into a terraced house. Old victorian one
Noticed in June a damp patch where two microbore pipes run. So thought a leak in pipe work.
Ran new pipe work away from area and new radiator fitted..all old pipe work drained and no longer active
Damp patch is about half a meter of the ground.no sign of damp lower down
Dried the wall out with a Heater and it seemed to have gone
It has now come back
Checked with neighbour he has no damp patch in that area or any pipes or radiators that he knows about
So the question is what could it be? Could it be damp at that height ?? Or could it take months for the dampness to come out. Its only in a small area. It just a coincidence for it to be anything else other then a leaking pipe. Or could it be an issue with next door?. Could the damp be coming from next door as I believe this side was treated with a DPC.. and showing above the area where the treatment ended? So rising up from their side and then popping through (If that makes sense)
