Dear Friends
A customer has a bungalow. Solid walls, 20yrs ago had some subsidence, all fixed.
On his lounge wall (internal wall) there is damp, the wall is damp to touch & going black. The wall isn't an external one, it runs through middle of lounge.
There's no rad on this wall. On the other side is a rad & basin but the joints are dry as is the floor & no damp on that side wall.
I'm of the opinion the there may be a pipe under the floor leaking.
I've been in the loft & all dry. Can't see any leaks, wetness or damp.
Any thoughts? He's a disabled chap with ms & is wheelchair bound. His place is slowly going into disrepair, he's a hoarder & his brain isn't working properly so as things go wrong he doesn't fix it until things are bad! His kitchen flat roof leaked & it wasn't fixed until last Nov - 2 yrs after leak so ceiling is blacked, holes etc.
I tell him straight where things are concerned and he accepts things. I've told him this needs sorting before things get worse & room starts to smell.
Cheers all
