Well I have been told that I have rising damp in my flat which is a basement flat. I had a DPC put in about 20 years ago but it seems to have failed as I have damp coming up over the top of the DPC it is shown by red discoloration coming through the plaster and also on another internal wall the plaster is bubbling up. I can understand that the external walls could have water coming through from the outside but I do not understand why the internal walls are showing damp.
Also I have had some of the companies say I have damp in the bathroom and kitchen whilst others say there is no damp there!!
Others have said that I have a real problem whilst others have said that it is really only cosmetic and that the damp is not bad. Who to believe and what to do. Do I go for another expensive damp course or leave it and just replaster. Any advice would be appreciated
