Hi
At the rear of my house (single story bathroom extension), the exterior bricks are soaking wet, in a kind of horizontal, metre wide / long patch, about halfway up the wall (1.5 metres up, wall about 3 m high).
Any ideas of (a) what will be causing this (water from inside - the bath / shower is on this wall), poor drainage from above (there is none!)?
and (b) what course of action is needed to remedy.
I'm fairly sure that wall has no damp proofing. I am wanting to renovate that bathroom so want to get everything in order - the room itself is cold and damp (tiles on this exterior wall are always wet unless I use my dehumidifier)
