Hi all.
Im trying to figure out what could be the cause and how to treat this small patch of what I believe is rising damp just beside my front door in my hallway.
Not the best picture but the door is just to right of the patch. We are living in the house 1 year to the month and we've never seen it before, it only appeared about a week ago so I sprayed it with mildew cleaner and cleaned it off to see if it would come back, I checked I think either yesterday or this morning with nothing on the wall and checked tonight and it reappeared again.
I can't figure out what could be the cause, my house is timber framed with a brick outer skin, some bricks outside along the level of where the damp is are going white I think with evoresence? Coming out of them, really only 1 brick is semi bad and few other spots here and there so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it?
Im not sure how to go about treating this or just keep an eye and keep cleaning it for now? Cant see any other patches or any other bits on rooms that run along the same wall as where the damp is or in rooms with the evoresence which is directly outside the rooms.
We did have a small leak a couple weeks ago some water got out of our bath after the waste pipe broke in our bath but that was 2 or 3 rooms away so could it be possible water has traveled along the concrete base? But I can't see how it did tbh. Also the skirting board seems to be OK?
Any suggestions welcome and I can take some pictures of in/outside of the house tomorrow if need be.
Thank you very much
