Damp Proofing

Damp under stairs

Anonymous user 28 February 2024 - 3.40 PM

Hi. I have a cupboard under the stairs an recently noticed that the side of cupboard that backs onto the staircase is very mushy wood and now i am seeing the damp creaping up the inside of the cupbord (panel to staircase) i have cleared it out so it empty and leave the door open to allow aor flow. A concrete floor was added about a 1.5 year ago. The otherside of the cupboard (that backs onto the kitchen wall) has bricks and the bottom ones close to the floor and very crumbly but feel slightly damp. Any ideas/suggestions wouls be great. Thanks

Possibly an issue with the damp course, depending on the age of the house. Usually quite easy to solve after investigation.

It sounds like perhaps the concrete floor covered an air vent !
