Hi to strip Wallpaper you can use a steam stripper which is the quickest option or warm water, be sure to put a drop of washing up liquid. Reason for this is when you brush the water on the paper you wish to strip the foam bubbles hold the water on the paper longer which soaks the paper quicker. Without seeing the damp problem I suggest the zin bin products which you will find on line or your local paint merchants.
