Stain coming threw wallpaper where copper pipes are located!

[Bmclaug1]

Hi

Any suggestions on this.

I bought a house in May 2013 my dad sunk all the exposed central heating pipes into the walls and bonded and plastered everywhere from head to toe by the end of June. Now 6 months later literally over night I've got up this morning to find two pale brown marks on my living room wall paper there are coming threw from where the pipes run.. It doesn't feel damp... But my concern is are they leaking? Or is it just a stain that seeped through from the plaster being hot and cold from the central heating?

Heat will not do that overnight after six months of use - I would put money on it you have a leak. Give it time and it will feel damp unless so small the heat from the pipes gets the moisture away too quickly

+1 for a leak. In such a short space of time I can't imagine it would be anything else.

You have a leaking joint.

Get dad back.

You can't trust parents nowadays, they bring you up, support you all the time, always there for you and do dodgy plumbing.
