Hi
I have noticed damp on the wall in my downstairs loo, and after removing the kids toys and toilet cleaners have now surveyed the situation! The toilet is long narrow area with one external and one internal wall. The external wall has damp on the skirting and a triangular wet area on the wall itself which is more evident when it is wet outside. the internal wall (which also has the heating pipes to the radiator) appears damp too as the paint is flaking off in places but not all over. Having pulled up the lino, the concrete floor is also wet. there is no evidence of a leak from the toilet itself that I can feel from around the back. I am not sure if it is damp from from soil/grass at the side of the house, or if it could possibly be the waste pipe from the en suite above that may have cracked under the concrete floor.
I'm not even sure who to call out to take a look, a damp expert, a plumber, a general builder????????????????????//
