Hello,
I'm unsure if this is boiler related but I have a damp patch on the outside wall and I have been topping up my boiler more often than I think is necessary. The cold water pressure seem to lessen occasionally too. There are no signs of any damp inside, under the kitchen units as I have removed all the kick boards and it is bone dry but due to the outer wall being wet I can smell dampness as it's never had a chance to dry out in this weather. I recently had the rendering redone along this area thinking it was old and perhaps cracked allowing rain water to enter but it's actually got worse since it's been rendered. It is wet for about 8 feet along the bottom of the wall. I am on a gradient where I am at the highest in the terrace so it can't be coming from any other houses. I've tried to download photos if that helps? There is no sign of any leaks from outer pipes and the roof tiles/gutters look sound? Any suggestions please?? There is a small pipe on the wet area and wonder if perhaps it's damaged in between the bricks seeping into the cavity, which has been insulated some years back. Could this pipe be part of the central heating system as the other pipes are on the outside wall leading from the combi boiler.
Any suggestions please?
