Speed things up. Get yourself a dehumidifier. Be sure to keep the room sealed when it is running.

After 14 years I imagine he's either fixed it or moved.

exterior waterproof coatings don't normally help a damp situation on old houses

the damp is on all levels, it would be better not to seal the room.

Not when you're running a dehumidfier. You don't want to be dehumidifying the great outdoors.

Most of us use dehumidifiers indoors. And most houses have the windows closed in the middle of winter. Is this really worth discussing? No.

Well, you made the silly remark.
