Hi all.
We removed a conservatory and it's concrete slab base from this spot around Christmas time.
No sign of damp bricks on the outbuilding at the time. About 6 weeks ago a water company engineer who was examining the sewer which is outside the back door, off to the right of this photo, asked us to turn on water supply and flush the toilet in the outbuilding. The toilet is located to the left on this picture on the inside of the building, probably where the second brick in and the damp brick meet.
Appears damp can be seen under the damp bricks too.
Anyone know what could be going on here?
We have suspicions regarding that toilet being there. It hasn't been flushed since and we've turned the water supplying it off again. There is still some clean water in the toilet basin.
Or could we be looking at some kind of rising damp?
I'd say as recently as early March the bricks were unmarked. Happened since then.
