Hi All,
I have recently brought my first home. I have noticed I am getting rising damp on the back external and internal wall. I have noticed the concrete has cracked and eroded around a clay gully where the kitchen sink waste water goes. The hole appears to be full of water. There is also a air vent which is pretty much at ground level. Are these the causes of the damp issue? Will i have to dig it up and have it repaired or would a concrete patch up job do the trick? Any help will be much appreciated! I have also attached a few pictures.
