Rising Damp or moisture? not sure...
Hi all,
we live on the ground floor of a two storey apartment block. The apartment is brick and render on the outside. Recently, in one corner of the floor I have discovered some dark dusty particles appearing along the skirting board. When I wipe with my finger, it seems to disappear, like dust. Because this wall (that corner of the room) faces the outside world, could it be damp - is this dust consistent with that? If so, what do we need to do to get rid of it or are we destined to it forever? (It has rained a bit recently, could that be it? Just moisture? Open some windows?) Or is it something else? Replies are apprecaited. |
