Damp Patch

garcon6

Damp patches has returned due to all the rain we have had. According to landlords relative it is due to cobblestones due to the age of the building. looking from the outside you can clearly see damp patches around the window and some parts black in colour. there is also a long crack which i think needs sealing on the outside. there is a down-pipe on the other wall so there must be water coming in from somewhere.
they said that they fixed the problem before we moved it if they did they did not do a good job!! or was it a quick fix.

outside wall and there is no one living above.

any ideas where the water/rain could be getting in!!

Ask if the LL will pay for a dehumidifier and contribute towards the cost of running it + will the LL consider putting in airbricks to increase ventilation and redecorate.

Mentioning the health downsides to allowing damp to spread and the bacteria that thrive off it might get the LL's !!!! moving on this.

You could ring a builder and get them to come and give you a free quote as to what they suggest gets done.
Then send it your landlord.

I will consider ringing a builder, otherwise it might get worse and could be cold in the winter months.
