We also have a damp issue in the back end our house (downstairs toilet). On advice of a friendly builder (thats due to do work on our cellar next month) I dug out the back wall in the garden and left it to see what happened, the tide mark hasn't grown but the paint is blowing and salts are coming through.
I definitely think this wasn't dealt with correctly when it was refurbed by the person we bought it from, I queried it as i noticed some damp, but nothing to the extent it's at now, the house was unoccupied and unheated for ages in the process (so i thought that might be the issue), but this is the main problem area.
I've pulled off the skirting board to see what's going on and the plaster is all the way to the flooring, I'm wondering if i should just hack out an inch all the way around and see if that stops it bridging to the walls, or just take the whole lot off and start again?
Our plan is to get rid of the toilet and put the washing machine in here so we can get a dishwasher in the kitchen.
