Hello everyone,
I'm redecorating my bathroom and after removing the tiles and bath have discovered what seems to be a rising damp problem. The tiles fell off without much effort, which I believe is due to the damp rising up the wall and affecting the adhesive.
I've attached a picture to this thread. This was taken about 2 weeks after everything was removed and the room left to air. Both of the walls featured are internal - the one on the left to the internal hall way and the one at the top of the picture to the enclosed communal hallway.
It's a ground floor flat.
Is the problem coming from the foundations?
Any help on what the cause could be, and any possible solutions would be much appreciated.
Thank you
