HNY wossie6, but sincerely sorry to hear of the continuing problem.

wossie6 - it sounds like you're saying that the problem was caused by falling damp? Not rising damp after all?

its a bit hard to say as of yet as the ground has not had a decent soaking for a while,time will tell

So, was it, and is it, condensation?

 

[wossie6]

its too low for it to be condensation.think ill be taking a few bricks out of the wall to see whats in the cavity.

A test on the top 100 commonly used bricks i:e. different consistencies in each. was carried out a few years back , which consisted of laying individual brick pillars in a tank of water i think for 15 years.The maximum rise acheived by the water was about 100 mm by the most porous. I dont believe in rising damp ! How does damp rise through stock brick . Most cases of damp i think is outside conditions find there way in, or , condensation. Just my point of view and experience.

I suppose to repeat it more and more. Perhaps it may help better than clever advertisement from business against "Rising Damp"
