Damp and Wet floor/Wall

[vinn]

Its not "exactly the same thing" at all.

Neither you nor I knew that the house was on a slope.

With the latest pics it implies that the gulley is tied into the main drainage system.



Perhaps you will apologise for being facetious ref "The sky"?

Looking at the pics, I reckon there is a problem with the low level building (back of garage?) bridging the DPC, perhaps with rubbish in the cavity. I would start off by digging out at least 6" below the current surface right up against the wall and see if it dries out. Perhaps removing a brick down here to clear/check the cavity.

Do you mean the lower brick work, under the floor level?

You say garage side which is the side with the white wood door showing in the pics but main issue is the opposite side of the house.


Do I dig that external floor then and see if it dries ?

I have also noticed the internal corner is damp running from ceiling to floor but only right in the corner all the way up. (Or down)

Thanks for advise on this, it really is appreciated. we have just had the first set of plans rejected so it's looking lime quite a while before we can get started on the extension so the main priority is getting rid of this problem in the kids rooms.
