Hello everyone!
Please could someone offer me some sound advise.
I have lifted the floor boards in our dinning room, only to find lots and lots and lots of rot!. Tofu city down there!
I heave read the other postings on similar problems, but not sure weather they also apply to me??
The ground between the joist bearers is simply earth. When it gets wet it becomes damp enough to create moisture, hence this problem.
There are air bricks, but not sure why there is still not enough vent.
I was thinking? Should I just lay Damp proofing in-between the joist bearers?
Will this solve the problem?
Or any other solution some one could offer please.
Very grateful. Thanks
I hope the images come up.
