rising or from above ?
I live in a terrace of 3 storey solid stone walled miners house the ground floor is a cellar which opens onto the rear garden and is below front door (street) level
back / \ front |________| |________|____ ___|____|
the cellar is soaking 1/2 way along 1 adjoining wall and into the corner of the rear facing wall
next door (as with all the houses in our street) has a yard area higher than the cellar along this same wall but there doesn't appear to be anywhere where the water can be seeping from other than their main drain which is on the other side of their yard. about 6 feet away. could this be the source of the damp or can rising damp (there are no foundations or cavities) rise 7 feet up a wall ?
how can I find out where the damp is coming from (cheaply) ?
