Hello! I’ve just bought my first house, and the house is mainly in very good condition but there are some areas of concern.
In the photo attached, from the living room, there are two patches of what looks like rising damp, either side of the radiator. Is this likely to be rising damp that needs a DPC, or could it be the radiator? I’m hoping using damp proofing paint will be enough but I don’t want to be irresponsible!
It’s a terrace house built around 1900s. This is the only wall with signs of damp.
Thank you! And sorry if you’ve had to answer millions of Damp questions in the past.
