We have got damp around our chimney breast what could it be? It appears to be working its way up from the floor.
Expert Trade Answers
"Possible causes. Lead flashing or pointing around the chimney stack is damaged or the damp proof course is not effective."

"Hello,
If you have dampness coming through your chimney breast you have moisture penetrating through the internal side of the chimney breast via capillary action this will cause dampness to appear and eventually due to rise in humidity mould growth will become active.
