Hi all,
A few weeks ago I had some work done in my toilet. Due to a bad rising damp problem, all the plaster was crumbling. A reputable local firm came out and hacked off all the old plaster, drilled and injected a damp course, applied waterproof plaster to the walls and then plastered over that.
This has been drying out nicely and until yesterday had completely dried out. However, last thing last night I noticed the plaster changing a darker colour (as if it's wet) from the corner where the damp originated. This has spread across the wall by this morning (it's about foot high from the ground up).
I'm about to call him back as the work carried a 20 year guarantee. I just need to know:
1. Does this sound like the rising damp has returned?
2. Will he have to redo the work or can it be treated as-is?
3. Anything else I should ask him?
Thanks
Jon
