This looked like rising damp at first glance, but the real cause is something far more common and far easier to fix.
Misdiagnosing damp is one of the biggest ways homeowners waste money, especially when unnecessary damp proofing gets installed.
In this case, the signs were all there: a localised patch, an internal wall, and damage appearing higher up than you’d expect. The real issue was coming from the other side of the wall entirely.
Key takeaways
• Localised damp is often a clue it’s not rising damp
• Always check what’s on the other side of the wall
• Failed silicone around showers is a very common cause
• Dry rods and damp proofing won’t fix leaks like this
• Drying out takes time, rushing it leads to repeat problems
If you’ve got a similar issue, fix the source first, then be patient before redecorating.
